Danielson’s new online course helps school leaders and educators lead effective professional conversations, which improve classroom instruction and teacher effectiveness.
Corwin and School Improvement Network announce the latest from education expert Charlotte Danielson, a new innovative online course for every school leader and educator, Talk About Teaching.
Charlotte Danielson has developed this course with a real need for effective professional conversations in mind. She affirms, “In the hundreds of schools and districts using the Framework for Teaching, we have heard, over and over again, that ‘it’s all about the conversation.’ This course helps educators hone their skills of professional dialogue.”
Talk About Teaching brings the rich content of Charlotte Danielson’s expertise to educators everywhere through the easy-to-use platform of PD 360. Danielson’s course will demonstrate to school leaders how to create informal dialogue which is the foundation for improved classroom instruction, increased learner achievement, and more formal discussions about education.
In her course, Danielson guides participants through questions that promote professional conversations such as “What are the factors that contribute to student learning?,” with useful prompts that include: Comment on the Question, Recommended Grouping Pattern, Tools or Prompts, Possible Teacher Responses, and Desired Outcome of the Discussion. With this and other effective techniques in Charlotte Danielson’s Talk About Teaching, educational leaders will finally have the caliber of conversations about teaching that produce real results.
Throughout the course, participants will hear directly from Charlotte Danielson and Candi McKay, an educational consultant with the Danielson Group, via webinars and video segments as they take them through the eight interactive modules including, Power of Professional Conversations, Power and Leadership, The Big Ideas, and much more. With each course license, participants receive access to 6 months of free and unlimited use of PD 360, the world’s largest online community of over 700,000 educators. Also included with each course license is the opportunity to receive graduate credits from Seattle Pacific University (a fully accredited university) for less than half the cost of other graduate schools.
