Crossroads Café at a Distance is designed to give teachers and administrators an overview of the Crossroads Café Wraparound version program along with best practices for teaching the course.  The course discusses in depth distance learning as well as the advantages and limitations you may encounter within a distance learning program.  This course prepares teachers by training them in best instructional practices for reaching distance learning students with Crossroads Cafe Wraparound version.  You will learn about the both existing materials and the need for creating new materials to best suit your program needs.   

 The course addresses five key components:

Lesson 1: Distance Learning Basics

Lesson 2: Crossroads Café Wraparound Version Materials

Lesson 3: Instructional Practices

Lesson 4: Final Comprehensive Assessment

The course is more than a reading tutorial – it’s interactive.  This means there are activities and assignments that will keep instructors engaged.

  • Assignments – Lessons are included to provide pragmatic use in starting or working in a distance learning program. 

  • Video – There are short video clips that participants will view each lesson during the course that illustrate key components in distance learning.

  • Discussion Board – Participants will be asked periodically to post their reflections on the discussion board.  This will give them a chance to read what others are thinking as well.

  • Knowledge Checks - At the end of each lesson, there’s a short Quiz to ensure understanding of the content.

  • Course Summary Exam.  Successful completion of the summary exam and each of the lesson quizzes is required for a certificate of completion.
