Local Education Guide (LEG) Training
Thursday, April 14th, 2011 at the CESA 5 Office, Portage, WI 9:00 to 11:30
Description:
If we were referring to body parts, a leg is something you stand on; it gives you support. In the virtual world of online courses, a LEG is someone who gives support to students in the district who are taking virtual courses online.
Research states that it is critical to the success of most students in an online environment to have someone monitoring their progress, locally. If the student had difficulty being motivated to do assignments in a traditional educational setting, he or she may have equal difficulty being motivated to do online course work. In an online course, the student must complete assignments and communicate with the teacher on a regular basis in order to complete the course. Many students need a little prodding to be sure they are moving forward toward course completion. Student contact and encouragement are the most important responsibilities of a LEG.
During this training you will learn:
* How to assist students in selecting courses they will be successful in
* How to assist students in the enrollment process
* How to assist the student in getting started with their class including making contact with their instructor, printing out the course syllabus and grading policy, making initial access to the course
* How to monitor student progress including observing student progress and grade book
* How to facilitate the student's learning process through email, face-to-face contact, or phone
