TPAI: Where Theory Meets Practice
Our self-paced ED501 (graduate level) courses are independent studies and share a common course structure designed to support your specific teaching role. Our inquiry-based model of learning has three parts: educators will build background knowledge (Theory), further research topics (Research), and create a plan to implement new learning into their teaching role (Practice). Watch our video to learn more about each assignment.
Inquiry Driven
