To receive a certificate, take the NewsU courses associated with that certificate program and then successfully complete the online assessment for each course. Once you've passed all the assessments, you will receive your certificate from Poynter's NewsU.</p></div></div></div> <div id="mission" class="og-mission"><p>Adjunct faculty at many schools teach skills classes, but many lack grounding in pedagogy and have limited classroom experience. This program is designed to fill those gaps. Using a combination of self-directed online courses, instructor feedback and assessments, participants will learn the key skills they need to be effective classroom teachers and earn a certificate of proficiency from The Poynter Institute and the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University.</p> <p>This certificate program features five self-directed, interactive learning modules as well as an instructor-led live Webinar.</p> <p>The five self-directed courses in this certificate program are:</p> <ul> <li><p><strong>Building a Syllabus and Course Schedule</strong> The first document your students receive from you should be a contract between you and them. What should be in that contract and how should you deliver it? This course will show you best practices for creating your course's most important documents.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Grading, Evaluation and Testing</strong> Grading is the worst part of your job, right? It doesn't have to be. Get practical tips for making grading a useful exercise, not a useless one in this course.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Managing Your Class and Engaging Students</strong> Managing a class is a lot different from managing a newsroom. Find out what the common mistakes are and learn how to avoid them and help your students get the most out of your teaching.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Preparing for and Measuring Your Teaching</strong> How's that class going so far? There is no Chartbeat for how students are doing in your class, so how do you figure out what to teach or whether it's doing any good? This course will help you determine how to prep and how to measure your effectiveness.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Teaching Tools and Teaching Methods</strong> From flipping your class to hybrid models to group projects, this course will open your eyes to new teaching methods and explain how to avoid being the Worst Lecturer Ever.</p></li> </ul> <p>In addition to the courses in this program, we offered a conversation with instructor Kristin Gilger on April 27. If you missed that live event, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150923062008/http://connect.newsu.org/p3l0zcqbn39/">you can watch the replay here</a>.</p> <p>The certificate program costs $299 per person or a group rate of $199 for schools and departments that would like to register several faculty.
