Training and Professional Development Institute
Western’s WWUHS program will coordinate two instructor training and professional development opportunities for high school teachers interested in participating in the WWUHS program. One will be a face-to-face event, held on August 12th, 2025 (also available via Zoom), the other will be a virtual option.
Learning Outcomes
WWUHS Teacher participants will be able to…
- Identify resources and strategies to support the instruction of a WWUHS course.
- Review course design, content, and assessments in a collaborative, supportive environment.
- Develop strategies for aligning high school curriculum with Western’s standards and expectations.
- Plan curriculum and assessments aligned with the Western course within their WWUHS course.
Both professional development opportunities will award high school teachers with 50 in-service clock hours (subject to review and approval).
