Professional Development and Reading for Teachers:  Meaningful Collaboration and Connections

Course: EDUC 370/570
Section: 796
Credits: 1-3
Format: Hybrid - Online, face-to-face and in conjunction with the Central Wisconsin Reading Council
Description:

In a community of professional learners, students make self-selections from a list of books—created by teachers for teachers—and collaborate within a professional organization and conversation.  Students will document learning and make connections relevant to their area/level of teaching.  With that, participants will have the chance to reflect and apply concepts that enhance their classroom instruction. 

Students will be required to join the Central Wisconsin Reading Council (CWRC).  *Participation in a book study group is encouraged at all credit levels; however an alternate professional learning network may be substituted. 

Specifically, this course will encourage practitioners to be reflective (WTS #9) and foster professional relationships (WTS #10) that will ultimately improve the overall learning environment for their students.
