Are you looking for a great way to provide professional development for your teachers, but can’t seem to find the time?
Accelerate CTE is a series of self-paced courses teachers can complete virtually.
Each course contains:
- key strategies
- reflection activities
- a relevant assignment teachers can use in their class the next day
Real-time feedback from an experienced CTE professional will be provided to participating teachers on their assignments, reflections, and quizzes.
Participating teachers earn virtual badges, Professional Growth Points (PGPs), and valuable skills to enhance lesson delivery. In addition, teachers will have access to all the resources covered in the courses.
CTE Directors / Building Administrators will be provided with information on teacher progress.
Each course is approximately 2 hours in length. You can assign teachers a single course or multiple courses. Each course is $90/teacher.
This is a great course. I am a new teacher and will use many of these tips and tricks to help with my first year of teaching.
