RTC's Newest Online Course:
CREATING HEALTH AND BALANCE IN TODAY'S CLASSROOM
(also available in off-campus locations)
Research shows that students who are physically fit and well nourished perform at a higher academic level. "MINDFULNESS IN THE CLASSROOM" will be emphasized as a technique to reduce student anxiety and help students succeed. The impact of stress, poor time management, lack of physical activity, and poor nutrition (One of every three students will develop Type 2 diabetes), on students and educators will be examined in order to better facilitate the learning process.
Check this website for dates and times.
Online courses begin on August 26 (some are already confirmed) and new ones start every Monday through October 28. Face-to-face classes start September 6.

What Educators Are Saying...
About RTC's Courses
The Kinesthetic Classroom: Teaching and Learning through Movement
(Available off campus and online)
"I was originally nervous about how I could apply movement with high school students, but this course showed me some examples and inspired creation of my own actvities and how important and effective learning through motion is!"
"Wow! This course is REFRESHING, EYE-OPENING, and so much fun! I truly feel like I have an excellent foundation and [now] UNDERSTAND how to use kinesthetic activities to teach. Every single moment, I was learning. Every activity was purposeful."
"I learned so many activities to use in my classroom. Since the class, I have tried on thing each week! My students are loving my new knowledge, and I love seeing then learn with a smile."
The Gendered Brain
(Available off campus and online)
"I really enjoy taking RTC classes. The content relates directly to my interests and helps me become a better teacher . . . never boring and constantly moving."
"This course was great! It has changed the way I think about males and females. In the classroom, I am now noticing so many differences between boys and girls and realizing how their brain has so much to do with how they are as a person. [This course has] really opened my mind!"
Differentiated Instruction
(Available off campus and online)
"This course, like other RTC courses I have taken, is very practical, which is what makes it so useful for teachers. In this class, I learned DI strategies that I have already begun implementing in my classroom. Just today I was speaking to a colleague during lunch duty and recommended RTC because of the usefulness and convenience of the courses."
"The class was so relevant. In a standards-based and high-stakes test-driven curriculum, it can feel overwhelming and impossible to differentiate. This course has made me realize that is not the case. I feel better equiped to make my class fun again and tend to all of my learners' needs."
