Practical Lessons for
Passionate Professors
The K. Patricia Cross Academy was launched January, 2019 through donations by Elizabeth Barkley, Pat Cross, and Claire Major. From the beginning, we planned first to offer 50 technique videos and downloadable templates for the onsite classroom and next create videos guiding teachers on how to adapt these techniques for the online classroom.
With the onset of COVID-19, we have accelerated our efforts to create videos for online implementation. We are now producing 4 per month, and currently have available:
We justify our donations of time, money, and resources based on viewership, and are pleased to say that we already have had over 18,000 visitors. You can help us in our efforts by sharing the link to our site or our videos with anyone you think might benefit from them. Thank you.
This is an awesome opportunity to provide a resource that alleviates the “trial by fire” initiation that new teachers face. It is great to have an organized, detailed, and accessible toolbox of techniques like this.
