Select Courses to Fit Your Professional Development Plan

Economics Center courses are designed in three program plans.  Each "plan" is a series of courses that are linked by grade level, academic content and/or theme.   Each plan provides opportunities for a focused profesional development experience.  Select two or more courses within a plan to include within your Individual Professional Development Plan.  The three Center program plans for 2007-08 are:
  
   Plan #1:  Basic Economics Content - Focus on the Ohio Academic Content Standards.

   Plan #2:  Improving Instruction and Assessment.

   Plan #3:  Thematic Units of Instruction - Cross Curricular Instruction.

   Plan #4:  Hot Topics - Current Issues.
 
 
Participating in a series of  "courses" as part of a "plan" is consistent with "No Child Left Behind" guidelines.  Saturday and evening sessions are scheduled individually to provide scheduling flexibility for individuals.  We anticipate that many educators will participate in multiple sessions as part of a "plan." 
 

Professional Development Courses for Educators
 
                    All courses are open to eductors of all grades.  Each course is designed for the grade levels indicated.  
                    All courses will incorporate the relevant Ohio Academic Content Standards in Social Studies, primarily 
                    the economics benchmarks.  Some courses will link to standards in mathematics, language arts and science.
