Course Design

To further your understanding of current issues facing educators, each course features interactive opportunities to apply knowledge and strategies to your own school setting. Kentucky teachers and administrators add a human touch to theory as they share their insights via recorded audio files.

A comprehensive design process assures excellence across each course. Subject matter experts (teachers and higher education faculty) from Kentucky and surrounding states authored the courses, keeping in mind the strengths and concerns of our communities

Small advisory groups reviewed the content and tone to ensure accuracy, readability, and alignment with Academic Expectations and the Core Content for Assessment. EPSB gave final approval to all course content. Throughout the site development phase, teachers, administrators, and teacher educators, along with representatives from the Kentucky Department of Education and the Kentucky Education Association, met regularly as an Advisory Council to review progress and provide advice.
