    LAUSD Course Code: NA-08-12 UMass Global University Course Code: EDUU 9975

    Course Description

    Every day, an increasing number of students experience trauma that may adversely affect their learning, relationships, and life-trajectories.

    According to the Department of Justice, more than half of children in the U.S. were exposed to trauma in the past year, and 40% are direct victims of multiple acts of violence (higher percentages are represented in urban schools). This study also shows that students exposed to violence are more likely to be delinquent, struggle in and drop out of school; as well as to suffer from anxiety, depression, and PTSD, abuse drugs and alcohol, and engage in criminal activities (https://www.justice.gov/archives/defendingchildhood/facts-about-children-and-violence). Trauma can greatly affect students' ability to learn. But through trauma-informed instruction, teachers and other educators can be factors of healing towards success, despite these odds. This course guides educators through a paradigm shift, toward deeper understanding, heightened sensitivity, and increased efficacy in teaching students affected by trauma.

Click Here to View Syllabus LAUSD Course Code NA-18-62 UMass Global University Course Code: EDTU 9056

    Course Description

    If you believe that science is for all students, and you’d like to help close the achievement gaps between various groups of students, this online NGSS course is for you. Statistics show concerning gaps between groups of students in their achievement of science standards, scientific literacy, interest in science careers, and preparedness for science fields. In 2013, the California State Board of Education adopted the NGSS for grades K-12 in order to bridge some of those gaps and improve science education for all students. The NGSS is comprised of three cornerstones: core ideas, practices, and crosscutting (connections between Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Engineering Design). The NGSS combines these three areas to form standards and performance expectations, in order to give students a cohesive understanding of science as they advance through classes and grade levels. The main emphasis of this online NGSS class is to show you how to provide equity in your teaching practices, by incorporating NGSS standards. Designed for all types of teachers, this online professional development course on providing equal access to NGSS for all students includes segments on:
    • what is NGSS
    • why NGSS
    • NGSS and CCSS (Common Core State Standards)
    • NGSS and equity
    • strategies for teaching science to economically disadvantaged students
    • strategies for teaching science to English learners
    • strategies for teaching science to culturally diverse students
    • strategies for teaching science to students with special needs / disabilities
    • strategies for teaching science to girls
    • strategies for teaching science to gifted and talented students
    This 2-credit online course is approved by LAUSD for salary points and by other districts in California for professional development credits or graduate-level credits available through University of Massachusetts Global. You can check with your school district to find out which professional development credit type you need. The course is comprised of 4 units. For each unit, you’ll read a lesson, watch a video, take a quiz, and complete an assignment. Throughout the professional development course, you’ll post your responses in an online discussion forum, for interaction with other teachers who are taking the online course. Reviews
