"Mastering the Essay" an online course offered by AllLearn
|
|
Have a passion for writing? Know a high school student who is preparing for college?
This month, Yale and AllLearn are pleased to
announce an innovative online high school writing program, designed by Yale's Michael Milburn. "Mastering the Essay" is a six-week summer writing workshop that gives high school students a unique opportunity to work with
world-class, college-level writing instructors. This course helps students get a jump on their college application essays and on the kinds of
writing they'll be asked to do once they enter college.
Featuring extensive one-on-one instructor feedback as well as peer review, "Mastering the Essay" teaches students how to write three kinds of essays - arguments, personal narratives, and profiles- and stresses the essential skills of composing, critiquing, and revising. Students will sharpen their critical thinking skills by reading and discussing the work of respected contemporary essayists. They will also gain confidence in the workshop format, which is widely used in college, and in the interactive
software they will almost certainly encounter during their academic careers. While no grades are assigned, students receive a certificate of
completion at the end of the course, which can be mentioned in their college applications.
To learn more about the course, and to read student and parent responses to the 2004 pilot program, please visit

*as a partnership is forming, the principles can serve a road map for significant issues that need to be addressed up-front by all partners
*as a partnership begins to implement projects and programs, the principles can focus discussion of progress, successes and areas of improvement
*as a sustained partnership reflects on it's past and future, the principles can help to guide assessment and improvement activities.

Professional Development website

Research has shown that student achievement is directly linked to teacher quality. State and national teaching standards provide a framework for teachers' professional growth that requires teachers to engage in ongoing professional development throughout their careers. The increasing demand for continuous professional development means that providers must expand face-to-face programs to include online activities and content that engage teachers anytime, anywhere. The growing recognition that no single organization can satisfy teachers' ongoing professional development needs requires that educators and providers form communities to share strategies, resources, and support. Tapped In was developed to support this vision.
