SAS® Curriculum Pathways® OPD

This course is designed for teachers interested in using SAS Curriculum Pathways to help students solve problems and learn through inquiry; activate multiple learning channels through interactivity; engage in multi-step learning processes to assess and shape individual progress; receive informative and timely feedback to enhance learning; and transfer knowledge and skills to new situations.

Course Description
This asynchronous, online course prepares teachers to integrate resources from SAS Curriculum Pathways into instruction. Assignments include working through resources as students, evaluating instruction, implementing lessons in the classroom, participating in cooperative learning activities and online discussions, and creating portfolio artifacts (capstone project).
