What is a PERC?

Child Left Behind requirements for quality professional development. The

COURSE SCHEDULE
March 12 - 13
Building Positive Family/School Relationships
- Dr. Fred Coulter
A good connection between the classroom and home can have a positive impact on students. The problem is how to make and maintain the connection. In the first part of the workshop, participants will come to understand the change that America’s families are going through by reading related articles and discussing systems theory. In the second part of the workshop participants will research a topic of interest to them related to family/school relationships. The goal is that by the end of the workshop participants will have articles, literature, and resources that they can apply in their work setting.
March 26 - 27

This workshop is designed to provide you with tools to identify quality multicultural literature books for P-12 classrooms. Participants will develop portfolio of strategies and methods for using multicultural literature in the classroom, an annotated bibliography of multicultural literature book, and internet resources for developing a thematic unit in academic content areas.

Grade Information
The timing of grade submission is at the discretion of the instructor, however, all grades for the PERC courses are due at the end of the semester. For example, courses that are held in January may not receive a grade (pass/fail or letter) until May. Transcripts will not be released until the grades have been submitted. Grades can be accessed at the end of the semester through the college's web utility called One Stop. More information about this utility will be shared in each class.
