Advanced Professional Certificate: Charting a Direction for Online Learning

A Certificate Course Offered by the Online School for Girls, Cal-ISBOA, and Marlborough School and Castilleja School

This “blended” course helps curricular leaders and administrators do a “deep-dive” into online and blended learning, and the opportunities and challenges that online and blended learning presents for independent schools.  The course covers both the strategic decisions that schools face and the practical implications of implementing online and blended programs in a school.  Great focus is spent on pedagogical and financial implications for schools.  During the course, participants are exposed to national leaders and experts in online learning, including (and most importantly) from experts within the independent school community.

This course has monthly online assignments and interactions and two in-person, day-long workshops (9:00am-2:30pm).  Programs will be held in both northern and southern California:

Northern California (in-person workshops at Castilleja School)

First In-Person Workshop – October 25, 2013

Second In-Person Workshop – April 24. 2014

Last day of Online Course Work – May 1, 2014

Southern California (in-person workshops at Marlborough School)

First In-Person Workshop – October 24, 2013

Second In-Person Workshop – April 23. 2014

Last day of Online Course Work – May 1, 2014

Audience:

Administrators and curricular leaders at independent schools who are tasked with developing both the strategic direction and the practical planning for online education and blended learning at their schools.  This course is also appropriate for schools that are currently piloting programs in online or blended learning.

We strongly encourage schools to send teams of 3-5 administrators/curricular leaders to this program, as we have found that a team is needed in order to create a full plan and begin to implement it.

Course Cost:

The cost for the course is $1295 per participant.
