Training in Instructional Methods of Efficacy (TIME) for Teachers Online is an interactive graduate-level course intended to provide a conceptual understanding of the workings of our language at the word level as these relate to early learning of reading and spelling. It integrates CD ROM-based lessons with instructor-led, internet-based discussions. This course draws on current research findings and developmental models to help teachers understand children’s evolving insights into the workings of our alphabetic print system and develop ways to apply this understanding to classroom practice. Teachers will gain an awareness of the power and usefulness of explicit, systematic instruction in phonemic awareness and phonics toward fostering literacy for all learners. Required course materials are obtained through the Stern Center (1-802-878-2332). The Stern Center also offers a non-credit version of this course.
