This workshop is designed to
support school leaders’ use of technology as a tool to create rich learning
opportunities for school personnel. Using Howard Gardner’s framework in his
2004 Changing Minds book, students will create multimedia experiences
that could be used in school communities to foster learning, conversation, and
spaces for creative thinking around seemingly intransigent issues affecting
school improvement. We call these projects “multimedia experiences” rather than
“multimedia presentations” because the pedagogic goal is for the work to create
spaces for people to interact with content in ways that encourage construction
of new thinking around the issue presented.

Multiple Regression Techniques as Applied to Education.

Advanced statistical techniques including discriminant function analysis, multivariate analysis of variance, canonical correlation, principal components analysis and exploratory factor analysis. Emphasis on conceptual understanding and use and interpretation of computer software. Prerequisite 603, 604 also recommended.

Spanish for Adults, Level B1, provides a communicative approach to second-language learning. This course is designed for intermediate-level students learning Spanish for personal, professional, or academic reasons. Students will interact in a variety of ways so that they use their Spanish in a real-world context learning about current issues such as the environment and popular culture.

This course is designed to introduce the new features of SAPPHIRE Structure and to develop skills in using these features.

OLIT 538 Introductory course for teachers interested in using a Learning Managment System in education.

We believe children should be raised in a family.

All too often we hear of children disrupting from homes and being placed in a treatment facility only to return to a family setting and have the same failure occur again and again. We call this the revolving door of treatment. We work to close that door.

In the three years we have been in business we have helped many children heal. We do this by teaching parents how to meet the needs of the child regardless of how that child communicates the need. Join us in this class to learn a bit about what informs our model of treatment so you too can make a difference in the life of a child.
