Learn how to scaffold instruction, design formative assessments that build on background knowledge and promote proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in all content areas. Experience seven modules that lay a novice-level foundation in Spanish in order to be able to communicate with many ELs at the beginning of their language journeys.

The Mindful Classroom
This course introduces educators to mindfulness as a lifestyle and more importantly, as an instructional style rather than an isolated period of instructional time. Establishing best practices in mindfulness instruction is a key component of this course. Developing personal practice and how mindfulness affects the brain coincide to define the role of the mindful teacher. How to introduce mindfulness to our communities is addressed, as well as Cognitive Load Theory.

Skills for Building the COLLABORATIVE CLASSROOM
(Available off campus and online)
"I have taken [other Cooperative Learning workshops] multiple times. And, I have always wanted to incorporate the structure and saw value in them. However, this class put into perspective the benefits of the Collaborative Classroom. I am fully embracing the concept of the "Four C's" and will be using multiple strategies learned thoughout the course to implement them. The instructor paced the class well and incorporated many structures that made this class extra special."
"This class has broadened my perspective on how effective student cooperation can be achieved in the classroom. It has clarified prior misconceptions about the extent of it. The course showed that class unity can be accomplished through simple tasks that promote higher-order thinking "
The Bully Proof Classroom
(Available off campus and online)
Comments from the online version of the course: "This course is SO RELEVANT to today's public school classroom. I loved the brutal honesty that was within the content and PowerPoint lectures! We cannot sugar coat this issue and we must act as teachers to ensure the mental health and safety of all our students. I feel prepared to share this information with my administration to bring forth positive change.
I loved the ease of [navigating] this course and how I could relate it to my actual classroom. The ideas were practical and the information presented applies to my profession.
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."
