Participation in this workshop is free, but you must register
with the Annenberg Channel to receive certificates of completion that
may be used for inservice or recertification credit. (Note: if you are taking
this course with a group, only one person needs to register the entire site.)
Graduate
credit is available at a reasonable cost.
Getting the Materials
The workshop session programs are broadcast free on the Annenberg
Channel. You may choose to watch a live broadcast or tape the programs to
watch at a more convenient time. Find out more about the Annenberg
Channel and see the broadcast
schedule for this workshop. If you do not have access to the Annenberg
Channel, you may watch our free simulcast online via broadband streaming
or purchase
videocassettes and the print guide from our online catalog. When you
register,
the Channel will provide the site facilitator with a single copy of the
print guide. The guide is also available as a PDF under Support
Materials Printable Guide (PDF) on this Web site.
If you are participating in a group session, your facilitator will give
you a copy of the print guide or request that you print the PDF for yourself
from this Web site. Your facilitator will give you any instructions concerning
meeting time and place, what you should bring to sessions, and work you
should do outside the group sessions.
Using the Materials
The guide and Web site provide background, activities, discussion questions,
homework assignments, and resources to supplement the workshop session programs
and provide a robust professional development experience. They also provide
information for facilitators to plan and structure group sessions.
Workshop sessions generally are held weekly for at least two hours. If you
are watching a real-time broadcast of the workshop session program on the
Annenberg Channel, plan to begin 30 minutes prior to the broadcast.
The workshop guide describes pre- and post-viewing activities and discussion
to fill out the remainder of the session. The guide also provides homework
to expand on what you have learned and prepare you for the next session.
Note: If you are taking the workshop for graduate credit, there is additional
required
coursework.
