SELF-STUDY: Preparing Students for College and Careers (10 hours)

“How can teachers prepare students to be college and career ready?”

Prepare students for a successful college and career using a range of research-based readiness strategies. Most students aspire to go to college and make a successful career, but few know what it takes to reach their goal. The tools, templates, and creative ideas in this course will provide teachers with research-based support for every critical learning stage. The course will also discuss specific strategies teachers can implement to make student readiness for college and career even more meaningful and effective.

For the education system to truly fulfill its purpose of preparing students for a world that requires a mastery of skills such as – research, collaboration, communication, leadership, problem-solving and cooperation, teachers must be able to find effective ways to integrate Project Management training into their classrooms without disrupting curricular learning. Keeping in view the challenges this poses, teachers are presented with project-based learning, as a means to successfully cultivate the needed skills in their students, while simultaneously keeping the focus on topics within the curriculum. In this dual online PD course, teachers are provided with a range of examples and strategies, along with an in-depth view into the effective use of each strategy presented, with a clear understanding of how they can influence student learning and optimal development.
