District+Advisory

District Advisory Council
Our District Advisory/Feedback Council offers input and feedback on various curricular and implementation needs of districts. Through surveys and a two-way communication process, AEA K12 Online seeks district information to help set the direction for future work and collaborative efforts.

Central to our immediate work is to determine a set of deliverables, based on feedback from our Advisory Districts and a statewide Needs Analysis. Here is a list for consideration:


 * Our Deliverables **
 * Access to digital content to be used online or in a blended classroom, including purchased content, statewide-developed content, and locally shared content from other teachers
 * A series of online webinars relating to teaching of the courses in a blended- or online-setting
 * Access to an area to share resources, ideas, or examples with other fellow teachers
 * Ongoing online discussion forums
 * A seminar each semester that focuses on the teaching of a specific piece of content. For example, we are looking at a Poetry seminar this spring for ELA, where teachers will experience the Poetry module from the experience of a student, discuss important steps to delivering the content in their own classes, share and reflect on their implementation with the group, and calibrate their assessments of student work with fellow teachers.
 * Content-specific Communities of Practice and Innovation (CoPI) focused on improving teaching, learning and pedagogy through social learning (PD0 and social authoring of quality content
 * CoPI - only sections of OLLIE courses
