Description

| JPEF: Jewish Partisans Educational Foundation |
Through this incredibly well done online course, learn how Jewish Partisans fought back against Nazi oppressors during World War II. From the site: "JPEF has produced a comprehensive and thought-provoking new curriculum called RESIST, designed to transmit the enduring understandings arising from the stories of the Jewish partisans. With layers of interactivity unprecedented in most any curriculum, RESIST is designed for 6th-12th grade students in formal and informal settings and is now being implemented in Jewish and secular schools worldwide." |
Library of Congress
|
The Library of Congress has hundreds of primary sources, images, films, and more, plus an ever increasing collection of lesson plans and interactives. From the site: "On your own for professional development? Earn a certificate of completion by taking the Library's self-paced interactive modules. Each multimedia-rich program delivers approximately one hour of staff development." |
| Annenberg Learner |
A variety of free workshops for teachers across all disciplines, utilizing both video sessions and pdf-format handouts. A big strength of this program is its look inside classrooms where we can see teachers actually putting these recommended practices into action. Once you access this list of courses, simply "click on the title to go directly to each workshop's or course's Web site, which provides information, support materials, activities, and a forum for communicating with other participants nationwide." |
| Intel Teach Elements |
Learn how to put tech to work in your classroom. From the site: "Intel Teach helps K–12 teachers of all subjects learn to engage students with digital learning, including digital content, Web 2.0, social networking, and online tools and resources. Intel Teach professional development empowers teachers to integrate technology effectively into their existing curriculum, focusing on their students’ problem solving, critical thinking, and collaboration, which are precisely the skills required in the high tech, networked society in which we live." |
| Coursera |
Hundreds of online courses, online, and free, from schools such as Vanderbilt; the College of Education, University of Washington; Curry School of Education, University of Virginia; Johns Hopkins University School of Education; Match Education’s Sposato School of Education; Relay Graduate School of Education; and University of California, Irvine Extension.
Unlike those above, some of these are NOT self-paced, and do have definite start and stop dates. Check out the Teachers' Professional Development page for a searchable list of courses recommended for educators.
