Details about this class

I am Ceci de Valdenebro the instructor for this class.

I am excited for you to take this class in which we will create a community of learners as we explore some key research and reflect on our own practices as educators.

Goals for this course: 

ED 131 is a hands-on course designed to prepare teachers and instructional assistants to work confidently in a standards-based classroom. Throughout the course, you will learn practical, research-based strategies to plan and deliver effective instruction.

We will explore learning and motivation theories in ways that connect directly to real classroom situations. You will have opportunities to create, practice, and analyze activities that address specific learning challenges, helping you build tools you can use right away in your own teaching.

Zoom Meetings:

It is important that you schedule our meeting times on your calendar, as active participation is essential to the success of this course.

We will meet once a week for 10 weeks, beginning on March 31 at 5:00 p.m.

During our sessions, we will engage in a variety of activities designed to keep you actively involved in the learning process. This course will be packed with engaging and enjoyable activities that will help you digest the material and collaborate meaningfully with your classmates.

Online Learning: If you are new to online learning, I highly recommend you take the time to get oriented and review the orientation materials using the following link - PCC's online learning preview as it goes into more detail about being an online learner at PCC.
