Web Based Classes and Other Forms of Professional Development
Our web-based classes allow you to learn and collaborate with other educators without leaving home. The eight-week sessions provide graduate-level instruction in a schedule that fits the demands of your real life. You can pursue an entire master’s degree in Educational Design and Technology or just take a single course to keep your teaching licensure current—and stay current in your practice!
The MTM Project has also developed non-credit, web-based professional development resources which can be used by an entire school faculty or an individual who wishes to grow in her own skills. Check out an example from our Best Practices Series, developed in collaboration with the School of Education at Concordia University Wisconsin.
From June 17-19, 2013, we will also be hosting a special Best Practices Seminar on 1:1 initiatives in P-12 schools. This three-day, intensive workshop, on the beautiful lakeshore campus of Concordia University Wisconsin, will help administrators and lead educators consider the pedagogical, practical, and logistical implications of moving to a 1:1 initiative. Please contact Cindy Guth (cynthia.guth@mtmproject.org), Coordinator of Member Services, for more information or to reserve your team’s spot.
Programs for the Students within MTM Project Member Schools
