FEA Online Learning Suite

Your Plan, Your Pace, Your Way

Why Online Learning with FEA?

FEA’s Online Learning Suite provides a host of professional learning courses designed to further your growth as educational leaders, but a closer look shows so much more than one-and-done classes that can sometimes be forgotten soon after the session has ended.

SELF-PACED LEARNING

These are asynchronous courses taught by the very best experts and foremost practitioners on these critical and timely topics. You have the flexibility to take the course wherever and whenever you choose and to focus more time on the aspects of the course that are most relevant to you.

ON YOUR SCHEDULE

It happens. You thumb through the FEA Calendar of Events and find that perfect session that you need only to see that it is being offered on a day when you absolutely cannot be out of the district. Not a problem with online learning.

TECHNOLOGY

The FEA Online Learning Suite has been created in Canvas, which is used by many higher education institutions and is one of the nation’s leading online learning systems. The modules, activities, videos, and discussion boards are at your fingertips (or your mouse click.)

BLENDED LEARNING AND CUSTOMIZATION

The future (and arguably the present) of professional learning lies in blended learning, where synchronous and asynchronous learning meet to provide a more comprehensive and rich experience. In-district sessions, multi-day series and certificate programs, FEA consultations and coaching, and the Online Learning Suite are just a few of the many opportunities for enriched, sustained learning.

MEETING YOUR PDP AND SCHOOL/DISTRICT GOALS

What were your goals this year? What topics are being addressed in the FEA Online Learning Suite? Is there a connection? Whether it is equity, climate, culture, social-emotional learning, special education, culturally responsive practices, or online and blended learning, these and other major topics will be addressed and covered in the Suite.

THE FEA ONLINE LEARNING SUITE IS DESIGNED FOR…

INDIVIDUAL EDUCATORS

Teams

SCHOOL & DISTRICT PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

Online learning can be just as effective for individual educators looking to enhance their knowledge and strengthen their ability to lead schools and districts as it is for teams in professional learning communities who can learn, work, and grow together. The FEA Online Learning Suite is also an excellent tool for schools and districts to use on professional development days or as part of an in-district program designed by FEA.

Engaging Instruction

Online courses developed and presented by New Jersey’s foremost educational and legal experts addressing best practices and legal requirements for the most relevant and important topics facing educators today.

Culturally Responsive Practices and Leadership

Fee: $125.
Culturally Responsive Practices requires educators to recognize and redress traditional psycho-social barriers to learning, barriers that have impeded the emergence of Black and Brown students as independent learners. In pursuing this journey, they emerge as culturally literate practitioners and allies who are better able to close the learning gaps currently supported by status-quo instruction and leadership. In recognition of the complexity of having race talks, we are excited to extend the learning by offering a 90 minute, synchronous session, led by course instructor Dr. Robin Harden Daniels.(Estimated 5.5 hours, including synchronous component)
