Enroll in this course

Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, educators have been collectively grappling with profound educational challenges and unique experiences that have defined this period. In this course, we will look forward to see what shifts in education might persist into the future. You will reflect on your teaching practice during the pandemic, explore resources, and share how you will move forward both in and out of the classroom. You will participate in self-reflection, celebrate your successes, and learn from experts in the field about how to show up for yourself in order to show up for your students.

In this course, you will:

  • Reflect on the effect the pandemic has had on your specific teaching methods,
  • Explore resources that support your identified areas of growth,
  • Utilize and employ reflective practices as a springboard to move forward in your teaching profession, and
  • Discuss what your next steps will be to become a more reflective practitioner.

Limited Course Capacity

We’re sorry to inform you that we have reached capacity for several of our Semester 1 and Trimester 1 courses. You’ll notice when attempting to enroll students in our Student Learning Portal that some courses are unavailable. While we are no longer accepting new enrollments for these courses at this time, many courses continue to remain open for enrollment.

With many students across the state 100% remote, demand for our online courses is greater than ever before. Because every course we offer is taught by a Michigan-certified teacher, this high volume of enrollments has created capacity issues for our teachers who provide each and every student with individual feedback.

While the Michigan Virtual team anticipated and planned for significant increases in student enrollments this Fall, the increased demand we’ve experienced has been unprecedented. As a result, we are taking steps to hire even more part-and full-time teachers to support larger numbers of student enrollments for Semester 2 as well as for Trimester 2 and 3. 

For schools that still need online learning options this year, please fill out the form at the bottom of our virtual pathways page to meet with someone to discuss other solutions. While some of our teacher-led courses are full, we may still have the capacity to help you in upcoming terms or can discuss timing to implement a whole-school or collaborative program in which local teachers from your school/district use our online course content to teach students. We also have free course content and resources available for you to use.

We know this is an incredibly stressful time for all, and we’re sorry if the courses you’re looking for are unavailable. We never want to turn away a student who wants to learn from us. Our top concern, however, is student success, and we have a policy to not take on additional enrollments if we cannot guarantee that all students will have a quality online learning experience. 

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate the unusually high volume of enrollments we are receiving.
