This is a self-paced course providing some best practices for distance learning, intended for SVUSD teachers in grades TK-12. There are six modules; you may complete them in any order. Each module has some product that you will be creating. At the end, you'll assemble these products into a mini-portfolio that you will share with your site administrator. Modules have some materials that apply to all teachers and some that are specific to grade levels or subject areas.
In each module, you will be creating some kind of product. At the end, you should copy or link each of those products into a single location which can be emailed to your site administrator. We recommend using a Google Slide deck for the final product, but you can use a Document, or Site, or anything else you choose.
Here is a Google Slides template you can use for your portfolio, if you want.
Here is a video tutorial on creating and using Google Slides. (17 minutes, watch as much or as little as you need.)
Here is a webpage on creating Google Slides, if you prefer to read.
Here are instructions on how to share your portfolio with your principal.
We are always looking to improve professional development offerings. When you have finished this course and submitted your portfolio to your administrator, please fill out the short evaluation form below. Thank you!
