This blended teacher training provided by the Wisconsin Virtual School for the Coulee Online and Distance Learning Consortium will explore specific content, pedagogy, and effective teaching strategies specific to the new or experienced online teacher that will or have instructed asynchronous or blended (combination of asynchronous and synchronous with potentially some face to face instruction) online courses for students. The content and specific online tools used in the Wisconsin Virtual School program will be addressed. The expectation is that after this training, the online teacher would be able to deliver a WVS course to online or blended students.

Optional Viterbo Credits: Participants will have the option to receive 2 graduate credits through Viterbo University. The total cost of the two credits is $220. Participants that choose the credit option will be required to attend the follow up synchronous Elluminate sessions and present a mini-lesson for “students” in Elluminate.

Note: Participants who choose NOT to obtain the 2 graduate credits AND have completed the 30 hour legislated professional development for all online teachers will be encouraged to attend the follow up Elluminate sessions and/or review the archived sessions to enrich their experience with the web conferencing tool in preparation for teaching a WVS course. The mini-lesson will be optional.

Six Dates will be determined for the follow up Elluminate Conference Schedules for those taking Viterbo Credit: TBD – 6:00-8:00 PM web conference

Preference for registration will be given to schools who are Coulee Online Distance Learning Consortium Members
