Fully-Funded Training Opportunity for Indiana Educators: 

NIESC has partnered with the Modern Classrooms Project (MCP) to offer training for any teacher who wants to learn how to implement blended, self-paced, mastery-based teaching and learning. The partnership is through the 1008/Accelerated Learning Grant.

The best way to see a Modern Classroom in action is to watch these short Edutopia videos:

Elementary Classroom

Secondary Classroom 

Any Indiana teacher can enroll in MCP’s Virtual Mentorship Program, a 12-week course that offers classroom-tested strategies with one-on-one expert coaching to build classroom-ready materials for self-paced, mastery-based learning. During the program, the teacher creates content to use in their Modern Classroom through a virtual, asynchronous, and self-paced course. The teacher is guided through creating mastery checks, instructional videos, self-pacing tools, and systems for student engagement. An Expert Mentor in a similar content or grade level provides feedback and guidance to help the teacher build a unit they are confident in using in their classroom. After training, the teacher receives 30 PGPs and a full year of on-demand coaching. 

Please share the two page teacher flyer as you wish with your teachers (Flyer). 

Any of your educators may sign up to learn more and register for training.

Randy Miller is the Superintendent at Westview School Corporation. This will be his fifth year as superintendent but he has been at Westview for eleven years. In his 19 years in education, Randy has been a teacher and coach at West Noble High School, the Assistant Principal at Lakeland High School, Principal at Westview Jr. High School, and now Superintendent. He shared that he is appreciative of each one of those experiences.

One of the things that Randy has focused on has been staffing. Westview had tremendous and long-term elementary school principals who recently retired. So within the past two years he and his team found the next generation of leaders for their three K-4 buildings. In addition, they hired his replacement in the Jr. High and hired a new High school principal. They have also recently brought on board a new Curriculum, Instruction, & Assessment Coordinator and Director of Transportation, Buildings, & Grounds. Randy has had fun working with the new leadership team committed to Westview’s success. Together they want to build a foundation that also ensures continued success for their community.

We asked Randy what he finds most rewarding about his position. He responded, “Working collaboratively with our leadership team to make Westview a great place for students and their growth.” He also shared, “I really appreciate all the generous time and advice I have received from my superintendent colleagues and mentors when I reach out to them. Thank you for your leadership within public education; it is our path forward for our country's success. “

In his spare time, Randy enjoys exercising daily, watching movies when he can, and checking in on his parents.
