Pickerington Schools is happy to be able to bring Catlin Tucker (blended learning, flipped learning, online teaching expert) to our educators. The goal of these workshops are to improve our teaching skills in an online or hybrid model. The sessions will consist of six 1-hour live video sessions with Catlin Tucker over a two week period. Additionally, there will be independent work assignments that will need to be completed during these two-week periods.
Video Sessions will be held at 9 AM for elementary cohorts, 10 AM for middle/junior high cohorts, and 11 AM for high school cohorts. Additionally, Catlin will hold daily office hours from 12 PM to 12:45 PM when she will be available for feedback on independent assignments and further discussion.
There will be two different levels held throughout the summer. You must take level #1 before you can take level #2.
We will be offering both CEU credit and Graduate Credit for both of the levels. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE THE COURSE FOR CREDIT.
Total work time for each level is 12 total hours, 6 hours of live video meetings with Catlin, and 6 hours of independent work. Teachers will get paid the $20 non-instructional rate for up to 12 hours per level.
We are limited to about 360 teachers that can go through each level. Principals, assistant principals, and other administrators are asked to sign up and be observers to learn the same strategies that the teachers are learning. Paraprofessionals are welcome to join, but teachers will have the first dibs to join the classes.
The Balance by Catlin Tucker Podcast
As an educator of 16 years, I have dedicated the last few years to training, coaching, and supporting teachers and see a need to help educators establish and maintain balance in their teaching practices and their lives. In each episode, I’ll talk with thought leaders to explore this complex issue, striving for ways to achieve a healthier work-life balance and address the question, “How do we empower ourselves to create and implement boundaries both inside and outside of the classroom?” Presented by StudySync.
Graduate credit is offered through Sioux Falls University and Idaho State University.
Requirements for the Graduate Credit.
Graduate Credit is only $125 per level.
You can sign up for grad credit at either the University of Sioux Falls or Idaho State University.
