    Accelerated Pace

    This course covers the same materials as the 6 week course we used to offer. However, it is paced faster with the expectation that the course is completed over 4 weeks. This amounts to about 7.5 hours per week to complete.  While the course is asynchronous, there are a minimum of three live sessions with additional individual workshop meetings as needed. Below are the session start dates that will be offered up to the start of summer. Summer dates will be posted at a later date.

    Texas Education Agency (TEA) has announced key partnerships to implement critical functions of the Texas Virtual School Network (TXVSN), including professional development for teaching online. Prior to teaching courses offered via the TXVSN, instructors are required to take TXVSN-approved professional development that specifically focuses on learning to teach effectively in the online environment. Information about course offerings, professional development, and participation in the TXVSN is available online at http://www.txvsn.org. Questions about the TXVSN should be sent to the TXVSN central operations at TXVSNCentral@txvsn.org or call 1-866-93TXVSN (1-866-938-9876).
