Aloha Kristin and Jon, 
I made the following changes to the Element of PD, Course Syllabus, and Course Detail Sheet. Thank you both for your time and feedback. Please let me know if there are additional recommended changes.  


Thank you, 

Teri

Teri Ann,

Your resubmitted course TL183079 Global Education: Tools and Approaches for Teacher Leaders (R) Online, has been reviewed and approved. 

Your course will be released on PDE3. 

As a gentle reminder,  I will need to go back in after the release to remove the additional section that was added by your sponsor due to a technical glitch that would not allow the original section to be seen. 

I'd like to suggest a couple more fixes to help with specificity and/or consistency:

Your course title: I will move the word online.

So your course title would look like this:  TL183079 Global Education: Tools and Approaches for Teacher Leaders Online- (R)
 
Additional recommended changes:

In the Elements of Quality PD:

Focus on the School's Strategic Plan: "Participants will align their course content to their school's Strategic Plan and/or Academic and Financial Plan." - Might you consider updating to more accurate language? Change to "...their school's academic plan" and delete the rest.

Systemic Perspective: "This course is aligned to all of the HIDOE's system initiatives - the Department's Strategic Plan and 6 Priority Strategies, as well as schools' Academic and Financial Plan." - Rather than, "...the Department's Strategic Plan and 6 Priority Strategies...schools' Academic and Financial Plan." change to HIDOE Strategic Plan and the State Initiatives, as well as the schools' academic plan.

Rather than list all of the LRP requirements, might you consider this statement? This is the statement used in the two 21st Century courses that were already approved.
Each participant will submit a learning portfolio that is reflective of the course content learned and implemented. Please refer to course syllabus for Learning Results Portfolio requirements.


For the Sponsor Assurances: Might you consider using these bullets as they address all parts of the element? Again, this language was used in the two 21st Century courses that were already approved.

  • The course activities and assignments are aligned with the course objectives listed on the PD application.

  • Instructor(s) will deliver the course content as specified in the application.

  • Instructor(s) ensures quality portfolios and will review all portfolios and request revisions as necessary

  • Application documents reference post-event activities to be completed within a reasonable time frame.



If you plan to offer this course again, you will need to update the information. Please be aware that any specific information regarding dates, times, locations should only be stated in the Section template. Currently, there are dates in the Syllabus.

Also, might I recommend more specifics in the LRP as it is not clear what exactly is being implemented as part of the Action Plan? Is it a trial meeting or an actual meeting? As a gentle reminder, there must be some type of implementation of the new learning/skills/strategies. 

I will share this information with your new sponsor once it has been determined who that will be. 

Please let me know if you are okay with the additional changes

Thank you very much, 
Kristin
