Drake Courses:
Drake University meets the needs of busy classroom teachers by linking theory to best-practices in the classroom. As you learn from expert facilitators, and have discussions with colleagues and instructors, you will model and reflect on best-practice strategies that you can begin to implement and develop as part of your daily classroom repertoire.
Drake's courses are based on an Inquiry Project. The Inquiry project allows you to identify an issue or situation in your professional setting that relates to the course content and that affords you the opportunity to apply that content to your own situation. You are guided through a step-by-step process of planning, implementing, analyzing, and evaluating strategies and techniques you learn in the course.
Drake University video and online courses are an ideal solution for practicing K-12 teachers looking to fulfill recertification requirements and advance their career. Our courses span a broad range of topics and content areas, including curriculum and instruction, classroom management, reading and literacy, technology, math, science and much more!
