Turning Up the H.E.A.T.

The Turning Up the H.E.A.T. online course enables participants to apply H.E.A.T. (i.e, Higher-order thinking, Engaged learning, Authenticity, Technology use) and other instructional best practices to their classrooms using a collaborative learning environment. For each theme identified, participants will engage in activities designed to help them get focused, clarify understanding, explore pertinent resources/strategies, and connect to students. The culminating activity for this content series course involves creating a lesson plan unit with H.E.A.T. and performing classroom walkthroughs with H.E.A.T. Themes in this content series include:

• What is H.E.A.T.?
• High Level Thinking Processes
• Engaging Students
• Authentic Connections
• Technology Tools
• Applying H.E.A.T.

The timeline for any online course available in the LoTi Classroom can be adjusted according to the needs at your school/district. All courses in the LoTi Classroom are asynchronous; they do not require all participants to be logged into the course at the same time. The intent of the LoTi Classroom is to provide convenient, cost-efficient, high-quality professional development services for participants on their own time schedule.
