This course is geared towards teachers who have not yet implemented Blended and Personalized Learning (BPL) methodology in their classes.
These teachers will gain the understanding and tools necessary to successfully run a BPL class on their own.
This year-long program includes workshops, one-on-one coaching, and participation in a community of like-minded educators to share ideas, experiences, and successes.
This course is geared towards teachers who already have knowledge of BPL and experience implementing it in their classrooms. These teachers will build on their knowledge and experience to take the next steps in the successful implementation of BPL.
This course will focus on ensuring a student-centered classroom and specific implementation of all four core areas of Personalized Learning. The course is typically taken by 2nd year Lomdei BPL teachers or by teachers who have been trained in BPL in other venues and want to sharpen their skills and impact in their classrooms.
This year-long program includes workshops, one-on-one coaching, and participation in a community of like-minded educators sharing ideas, experiences, and successes.
This course trains a representative at your school to become a Lomdei BPL coach who will coach other teachers at your school. The coach will get training in the Google Challenge-Based Coaching Model (the same model that all Lomdei coaches follow). Your in-house coach will learn all the necessary methodologies to effectively coach teachers and oversee classroom observations.
There are 2 reasons to consider having someone on your staff train to be a Lomdei BPL coach:
Teacher Orientation
At the start of the course, teachers will participate in a 30-45 minute orientation Zoom session to help build a sense of community with the other participating teachers. During the session, they will meet the facilitator and the other Lomdei BPL teachers in their cohort and be introduced to the course objectives and expectations.
Principal Orientation
At the start of the course, principals will participate in a 30-45 minute orientation Zoom session. During their orientation, they will meet Mrs. Richmond and each other, and discuss their role in supporting their teachers, ensuring that course goals and objectives are met.
