YIPPEE For Professional Learning!
Dates: Now through December 11 (Online, asynchronous; join at any time)
Refresh and recharge your professional toolkit by exploring the YIPPEE Exchange Marketplace. YIPPEE is a first-of-its-kind digital marketplace designed to connect K-12 educators to a host of free entrepreneurship education resources and to one another. As part of the YIPPEE community, K-12 educators are empowered to explore a wide range of resources in a single place and share their experiences to ensure the best resources make their way to kids. Workshop participants will work at their own pace to take a deep dive into YIPPEE and create a lesson plan for utilizing YIPPEE resources in their own classrooms to be shared on YIPPEE. Participants will also have access to model lesson plans created by YIPPEE Teacher Ambassadors and Summer workshop participants. Optional virtual office hours will be available to workshop participants for support with project development. Lesson plan projects are due Monday, December 11 at 11:59 p.m.
Participants will earn a certificate of 15 contact hours, or may opt to earn one graduate workshop credit hour with a tuition fee of $165. This workshop has a grading scale of Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory. Projects must receive a rubric rating score of 20 or higher and be uploaded to YIPPEE in order to receive a grade of Satisfactory. Projects must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. December 11 via email to akratcos@kent.edu. View the rubric for the required project (PDF)
Through the generous support of Burton D. Morgan Foundation, all K-12 educators who complete all course requirements will be eligible to receive a $200 stipend upon creating and posting their lesson plan on YIPPEE. Lesson plan projects must include at least one YIPPEE resource, receive a rating score of 20 or higher (based on the rubric) and must be uploaded to YIPPEE in order to be eligible for the stipend.
