What your colleagues are saying...

 

"The 6 Week OCDE Project GLAD Acceleration course has been amazing! Such a great way to continue my journey with GLAD and reinforcing all of the strategies we observed in the classroom demonstration.

I am loving the support with learning about applying these strategies digitally with distance learning. Most of all, the learning of so many great ideas from the collaboration within the community of teachers!"

- Ashley Harsin, InterMountain ESD

 

"Great course! Lots of valuable information for learners at every level. The videos provide a resource and give an example of how it should be modeled in classroom setting.


Both instructors had such knowledge and understanding of each topic and gave great examples for Primary and Secondary learners. The videos were great and having the course online was convenient to my work schedule."

The Experience

Each week you receive a new focus strategy with videos to strengthen your background of the strategy, prep materials to use during the strategy, delivery tips with classroom demonstrations, and ideas for extending the strategies above and beyond the basics. 

Watch the videos and prep/practice your materials anytime during the week!

During the course you are never alone.  You have access to LIVE coaching support with Jody and Sara during group coaching sessions several times per session, individual coaching feedback when pursuing clock hours/PDUs, and ask the trainer prompts whenever you need it most. 

Clock hour/PDU option - depending on your district
Time commitment - approx 3-3.5 hours/week, if taking for clock hours/PDUs

Testimonials from your colleagues

Spreading the good news!

 

"Without overwhelming the viewer, Acceleration 101 gives an in depth look at how to engage students, instill good behaviors, and motivate students to be engaged and behave. There is a reason behind each strategy, so it makes sense. It is delivered in a way that makes the viewer feel like they can easily implement these strategies into their routine without creating brand new routines. – Amber

 

"Even though as a new teacher, I have a lot on my plate (platters, really) I couldn't wait to be glad trained. I'm so tickled that this opportunity came up right away, since there are a couple of things that when instituted in a classroom have an immediate effect! Positive effects! Hello Numbered Heads Strategy, I'm looking at you. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge with us!"

 

"This was amazing! I would highly recommend this course.


The videos were easy to follow and I liked working at my own pace through the weeks. The coaches feedback was immediate and helpful."
