Why
should I take a PBS TeacherLine New York course?
We realize how
busy your schedule is and have designed these courses
to fit into an educator's lifestyle. The classes have
flexible hours and can be fit into your personal schedule.
You can work on courses during your lunch break, in
the evening or at 2 in the morning. With the recent
state mandate of additional professional development
hours for teachers, the TeacherLine program helps fulfill
these requirements. You also have the option of receiving
graduate credit for the classes at an affordable price. |

What
is a PBS TeacherLine New York course like? What will
I have to do?
Each PBS TeacherLine
course is run over a six week period of time and takes
between 15-30 hours to complete. The courses take place
online with a facilitator in charge of the material
and discussions. The class consists of 10 to 25 fellow
educators from around your area, the state or even the
nation.
At the beginning
of each week, the facilitator posts an announcement
detailing the assignments for the next seven days. You
are asked to visit the site at the beginning, middle
and end of each week to participate in assignments and
group discussions.
The assignments
may include reading an article, working on a unit plan
or project, implementing a lesson in class or reflecting
on your teaching and students learning. Your course
may also include a reflective journal or a final project
that is e-mailed at the end of the six weeks. |
