Effective Teaching in Diverse Classrooms
This program was developed in conjunction with professor Roland Tharpe and is based on the award winning CREDE (Center for Research, Education, Diversity and Excellence) pedagogy. The online program provides teachers with detailed instruction on implementing the six phases of the CREDE system. Included in the program are compelling real classroom examples of teachers in action implementing individual phases of the pedagogy. Teachers who are currently using the CREDE pedagogy should complete the entire program. However, teachers who have not adopted the CREDE system can still greatly enhance their skills by focusing on the specific teaching strategies recommended and illustrated in the program.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, this online program will help you
visualize the following:
- Watch as a real teacher uses responsive assistance to encourage students to explore their own expertise and gain a deeper understanding of the topic
- View an exemplary middle school teacher in action as she guides students and helps them find evidence to support their conclusions
- Observe a powerful example of a teacher effectively beginning the process of building a community of learners by establishing student expectations on the first day of class
- Watch as an enthusiastic teacher arranges the classroom to properly facilitate a unique student learning activity…. then encourages the students to maximize engagement
- View an excellent example of an elementary teacher using a VENN Diagram to contextualize a specific concept
- Observe how a high school teacher builds student confidence by encouraging them to think independently and use their reasoning skills
