Course Information & FAQ

Course Description
In this 8-week online course, participants will read Adaptable: How to Create an Adaptable Curriculum and Flexible Learning Experiences That Work in Any Environment by A.J. Juliani, which “sets out to build on the best of what educators have already done for years: adapt their instruction to meet the needs of their students. Participants will learn a framework that allows them “to create a curriculum that works in our post-COVID world and learning experiences that engage and empower our students regardless of where they are learning.”

How will I know what to do and when?
The class works in eight one-week cycles. There is a tab at the top of the blog for each week of the class. Your facilitator will send you reminder emails throughout the course with links to the appropriate page, but you are welcome to visit these pages ahead of time and work ahead if you'd like.
