Running Records Online
Course Description

Running Records Online: Observational Tactics for Teachers is our latest course and is designed to make professional development more convenient for teachers.  After selling our successful Running Records Series products for years, interested customers requested that we offer an graduate level, online course to provide running record training.  This course includes an extensive coverage of marking conventions, scoring, analysis, and classroom application, along with the theory behind running records. 

The Running Records Online course exemplifies self-paced instruction that is flexible to the needs of teachers.  Participants have six months to complete the requirements as they study the course materials, reflect on their learning through our online course, and communicate with an instructor.  By taking this teachers will earn graduate credit through respected universities and become masters of running records.
