Participants will:
-Explore an approach to collaborative, role-playing teaching in an asynchronous online class.
-Discuss the resources we used t(e.g., Flip and "expert" videos) to help students interact to collaboratively work on critical school problems.
-Share ideas for implementing a post-COVID teacher education strategy to help pre-service teachers think about a school-wide approach to addressing problems.
The instructor (Hessling) has participated in two national research projects which showed how school personnel were unprepared for anything like COVID. The research indicated that the COVID crisis especially affected students of color as well as students with disabilities. The class, School and Society, a core course, has already engaged students asynchronously in dealing with topics like inclusion, anti-racism, and teachers as leaders. The technologist/librarian (Fogle) has worked with the instructor for many years to create inclusive, interactive activities for this asynchronous online class.
Engaging with attendees to the poster session to discuss this module and sharing ideas.
The poster "presentation" will include:
1) Introducing the course and why we decided to create this module
2) Sharing how the module works, especially with the use of Flip for small and large groups.
3) Sharing student reactions
4) Sharing ideas with the audiences.
We will demonstrate how we created the module (and materials for it), and implemented the module, along with any problems we had.
We anticipate that it will take 10-15 minutes with attendees to go through our presentation, and we'll repeat it as needed for new poster session attendees.
