Apple Teacher Courses Live on CPD Manager #AppleTeacher @RenfrewshireRTC #AppleRTC
The Renfrewshire Apple Regional Training Centre are hosting sessions to support people to gain their Apple Teacher status.
From Apple: Apple Teacher is a free professional learning programme designed to support and celebrate educators using Apple products for teaching and learning. More info here….
There are six badges to be gained before Apple Teacher status is awarded: iPad Basics, Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iMovie and GarageBand. The aim is for you to become aware of the different features of each of these areas of iPad before a short quiz checks your understanding. Once the quiz is passed you gain a badge, all six badges = Apple Teacher. It is a great bit of CPD and really helps you get to grips with those apps on the iPad you may not have delved into too deeply.
The RTC are offering online sessions on each of these areas to guide you through the different things required to gain the badge. See details below.
Apple Learning Coach #AppleEdu @RenfrewshireRTC #AppleTeacher
Applications for UK and Ireland cohort opening September 2023
Apple Learning Coach is a free professional learning program that trains instructional coaches, digital learning specialists, and other coaching educators to help teachers get more out of Apple technology. It’s a dynamic mix of self-paced lessons, workshop sessions, and personal creative projects.
The Apple Learning Coach programme is open to instructional coaches, digital learning specialists and other educators who have the capacity to coach. The programme defines coaching as partnering with teachers to analyse their teaching, set goals, identify strategies to reach the goals, and provide support until the goals are met.
Once accepted onto the programme, Apple Learning Coach candidates engage in an online course, with self-paced modules and two days of virtual workshops with Apple Professional Learning Specialists. This experience provides a cohort of fellow coaches, as well as Coaching Journals and actionable takeaways. The learning experience builds to the creation of a Coaching Portfolio, which candidates submit as their final assessment at the end of the course.
