E. Online Courses New offerings are available. The concept of providing a menu of online courses, offered by District teachers, is a priority. We are looking to expand our offerings to include more online courses. These courses do not necessarily have to focus on technology applications. We are looking to offer courses reflective of multiple curriculum options in an online format designed by our teachers and presented by our teachers.
Online courses offer teachers more flexibility and address the needs of our staff.
We have the infrastructure, equipment, and knowledge to progress as The Schenectady Center for Professional Development continues to expand its options. We believe we have excellent selections offered this year. Professional development hours for online courses are offered in units of 30 or 15 hours only. Participants may access the course at any time, providing they have a computer with online capabilities, as participants may work from their homes. However, there may be an initial and concluding meeting obligation.
