This lesson will look specifically at the INFOhio Learning Pathways and how you can use them to deliver professional development.

INFOhio Learning Pathways

The ICoach training you are in is an INFOhio Learning Pathway. These classes are designed to provide training synchronously (with a facilitator) and asynchronously (alone). 

There are four INFOhio Learning Pathways most PreK-12 educators will find helpful:

  • Ages 3-5 Digital Content Learning Pathway 
  • K-5 Digital Content Learning Pathway
  • 6-8 Digital Content Learning Pathway
  • 9-12 Digital Content Learning Pathway
  • High-Quality Instructional Materials for Each Child Learning Pathway
  • Professional Learning Book Studies

Educators can use content from the classes in presentations or other types of training and development. A trainer guide for each class provides activities to engage adult learners.

Find the trainer guide for each Learning Pathway class in the Exercise Files tab. It is also located in the Your Assignment lesson or Welcome to the Class lesson in each class.

Building a Training Using INFOhio Learning Pathway Classes

INFOhio Learning Pathway classes can be used to develop a presentation, complete with slides and learning activities. Using the class content and Trainer Guide, ICoaches can build professional development and training for specific audiences quickly and efficiently. 

This helpful  Planning Template will support you as you create your training or PD for adult learners. Click File, Make a copy to begin. The template is a workspace and planning tool, guiding you through steps to help you create the best PD for your audience.
