How do COETAILers grow as Connected Learners?

Have you missed any of the posts in our ISTE Standards series? Read more about how COETAILers embody the standards here!

During the fall of 2019, COETAILers in Online 11 will take Courses 3 & 4 with the option to also take Leadership for School Program Improvement (EDL 663) through the University of Kentucky. While the COETAIL courses focus on the ISTE Standards for Educators, the University of Kentucky courses focus on the ISTE Standards for Education Leaders. Scroll down for a peek at what combining these two certificates would look like!

This fall, we’re realigning our courses to the new ISTE Standards to equip today’s educator with the knowledge & skills to impact student learning.

“The ISTE Standards for Educators are your road map to helping students become empowered learners. These standards will deepen your practice, promote collaboration with peers, challenge you to rethink traditional approaches and prepare students to drive their own learning.” (source)

We’re also collaborating with the University of Kentucky to align our courses to include overlapping assignments, allowing you to grow as both an Educator and an Education LeaderScroll down for more information on our partnership with the University of Kentucky and a peek at the combined learning journey. Did you know that registration for Online 11 is open?! Don’t miss out on this transformational learning journey!

Bonus: Our partnership gives you the opportunity to stack graduate certificates on your way to your Master’s in Education (or even Ph.D.!) from a Research 1 university.

If nothing else, COETAIL has made me a connected learner. I am regularly engaged in online PLNs, work collaboratively with colleagues from around the world, have been mentored by and mentor others in person and online.
