New Challenges - New Solutions for Educators
Professional development for today's teachers should address the emerging role of technology, -driven decision making and differentiated learning in the delivery of day-to-day instruction. Kinney & Associates, Robin Fogarty & Associates and Hawker Brownlow Education have combined to develop Hawker Brownlow Online, an engaging research-based series of interactive courses that cover these important topics.
Hawker Brownlow Online moves
beyond creating on-line discussion groups to delivering
research-based content and reporting mastery of coursework
through online interactive assessments. Administrators faced
with increasing accountability will appreciate the easy-to-generate
reports that profile individual progress, group progress
and time spent on coursework. Teachers,
faced with increasing demands and time constraints, welcome
the convenience of working at school or home anytime
of the day.
Hawker Brownlow Online modules
clearly outline objectives and provide the learner with
the flexibility to target specific content or go from
start to finish. Each participant receives a password
and access to a new world of professional development,
accessible anytime anywhere there is Internet access.
The 'techno-savvy', and even the most 'techno-phobic', participants
will discover Hawker Brownlow Online is remarkably
easy to use.
These online courses are based on the highly successful series of In a Nutshell books by best selling author and 'teacher of teachers' Dr Robin Fogarty. As online professional development becomes more widely available, HBE has focused on ensuring that our course content is relevant, practical and supported by a solid foundation of research.
