High Tech High Graduate School of Education
High Tech High began in 2000 as a single charter high school launched by a coalition of San Diego business leaders and educators. It has evolved into an integrated network of schools spanning grades K-12, housing a comprehensive teacher certification program and a new, innovative Graduate School of Education.
Ratings and Reviews
The content of the curse was brilliant, fascinating and very interesting. However, the instructions for doing the assignments were sometimes not entirely clear or even conflicting (as in the first week assignment, where in the overview page it was said that you should do a video with you AND another person and the submission page said it was a video with you OR another person). There also seemed to be no instructor around to clarify this issues or help with questions or problems the classmates had. Still, a great course that I would recommend anyone interested in education, teaching and learning to do, with a lot of amazing references and material, and given by a school that is really worried about their students learning and want their voices to be heard :)
I saw some new things.
Thoroughly enjoyed this course and feel it has improved me as a teacher. Assignment criteria could be clearer. Excellent compliment to the blended learning course.
