2 Session Objectives: Identify and locate professional development resources available in the Home Base system. Select appropriate online professional development implementation models that meet specific local needs. Explore and understand the potential of the Home Base Professional Development System. Why is online PD attractive/effective? Share your ideas in this padlet Courses Offered by NC DPI 2

3 Accessing PD in Home Base Models for implementation: maximizing learning opportunities Districts and schools should determine which model best serves the needs of their educators and can best be supported by available resources. Cohort or PLC with an on-site facilitator: Synchronous or blended learning 3

4 Cohort or PLC with an on-site facilitator: Synchronous or blended learning LEA appointed on-site facilitator guides and monitors progress. Educators complete the module as a group. Participants work independently online and collaboratively face-toface. Facilitator is present with the team during group meetings. Facilitator leads and coordinates discussions, implements timelines, sets beginning and end dates, and coordinates meetings. Face-to-face meetings can occur during PLC meetings, staff meetings, or department meetings, before and after school, during half-day sessions, or as decided by the LEA. Cohort or PLC with online facilitator Cohort or PLC with online facilitator Similar to last model except that the facilitator and learners meet online not face-to-face. Districts provide facilitator and a means of online interaction. Communication can be asynchronous manner (where participants do not have to be present at the same time) Ex. Edmodo, LMS like Moodle, blogs wikis etc. synchronously (when the group meets in real-time on a regular, scheduled basis). Ex. Go-to-Meeting, Adobe Connect. 4

5 Cohort or PLC without a facilitator Cohort or PLC without a facilitator Though we strongly recommend using a facilitator to maximize learning from the modules. A group of educators can work together as a team. Start and complete the module together. Arrange for times to meet and hold group discussions. Independent learning 5

6 Cohort or PLC with an online instructor Cohort or PLC with an online instructor NCDPI will provide a section of the course. Access to Moodle will be provided. LEA must provide a trained and qualified instructor for each section. Instructor will be able to teach a separate section of the module. The instructor has the ability to customize the modules somewhat through discussion forums and incorporation of more collaborative learning. Course taught by an NCDPI instructor 6
