Dates to Remember

    Foundations Semester

    Your Weekly Schedule

    This schedule repeats most weeks throughout the semester. Use it as your guide for when new material is released and when assignments are due.

      What to Send and Where

        Write your reflections yourself

        All reflections must be completed in your own words. Do not use ChatGPT or other AI tools to answer these assignments. The point of the reflection is to build your own observation, critical thinking, and teaching skills.

        Learn, Share & Connect

        The Community page is an important part of your development throughout the semester. Each week, you are encouraged to contribute questions, observations, challenges, and topics from your teaching and coursework. These contributions will help guide the conversations during our weekly Community Discussions and allow us to learn from one another throughout the semester.
