A SOLUTION FOR TODAY, A PATH FOR THE FUTURE.
Educators have bravely stepped into a new chapter of their teaching career practically overnight by using digital means to instruct their students, many without prior training or knowledge of digital tools and best practices.
IWU is developing a pathway that allows educators to be equipped with the skills most needed to teach online during a pandemic and into the future of e-learning, while also providing a series of credentials to help interested teachers continue their education.
PATHWAYS AT IWU + STACKABLE CREDENTIALS
Expand Your Skills. Invest in your future through targeted training for any level. You can start small with micro-courses. Earning 5-7 micro-course badges leads to the completion of a micro-credential in online teaching and learning. Micro-courses give skills and knowledge in areas that will help prepare for the virtual classroom environment. The micro-credentials can set up your educators to continue learning with a certificate, master’s, and post-master’s programs should they choose to proceed into IWU’s stackable pathway. Ready to jump in and go big? Teachers can enroll directly in a graduate certificate, Master’s, or EdS degree.
Consider this pathway to provide yourself with additional training and development and become a leader and expert in online teaching. Not only will you be better prepared for the digital classroom, but you are investing in the future of your students by becoming specifically trained to meet them in the ever-expanding world of e-learning.
