Dual Enrollment Program: Teacher Workshops
Dual Enrollment Program: Teacher Workshops
Before a high school can offer LSU dual enrollment courses in mathematics, a teacher from the school (with principal approval) must complete the DE Math Certification Workshop and obtain course-specific certification(s), and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the school and LSU must be put into effect. In subsequent years, to continue teaching dual enrollment, school teachers must attend a one-day refresher workshop.
DE Certification Workshop (June)
This workshop for prospective DE teachers includes two four-day virtual summer sessions and approximately 35 additional hours of independent work between the two four-day workshop sessions. There is no fee for participation in the workshop.
Refresher DE Workshop (mid-July)
A one-day Refresher DE virtual workshop for active DE facilitators is held each summer.
Pre-DE Certification Workshops (June)
Pre-DE courses (Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II) in MyLab Math are available for teachers at participating high schools. Teachers can get certified for these courses at the Pre-DE Certification Workshop. This workshop includes one four-day virtual summer session and approximately 35 additional hours of independent work. There is no fee for participation in this workshop, and there is no tuition charged to students, but schools must provide the hardware to access MyLab Math and must cover the cost of MyLab Math access. The course profiles state the learning objectives within each of the Pre-DE courses, the number of exercises for each objective, and the Louisiana Mathematics Standards (LMS) correlation to each. At the end of each profile is a list of the standards not covered within each course along with suggestions on covering these standards.
What happens at the workshops
At the workshops, DE and Pre-DE teachers...
- are taught how to appropriately use web-based technology to redesign course delivery and improve student learning outcomes;
- are taught how to effectively use the online learning system MyLab Math at an advanced level must complete with 100% accuracy all of the student homework required for the specific course within the time-span of the workshop and earn a score of at least 90% on the course final exam;
- become “certified” by the LSU DE Program after completing all of the workshop requirements;
- establish a positive working relationship with the LSU math faculty members who serve as the DE Instructors of Record for the DE courses;
- network with other high school teachers already certified or becoming certified in the LSU DE Program;
- get access to the following MyLab Math courses: Advanced Math - Precalculus, Advanced Math - Functions and Statistics, Precalculus, and Algebra 3.
School and district responsibilities
Individual schools or districts will be responsible for providing hardware for their students to access the web and for purchasing MyLab Math access codes for their DE and Pre-DE students using the content from these courses. A one-year access code for the MyLab Math online learning system used to deliver the content must be purchased for each student at $40 per student per year.
