Registration for professional development credit is open.
Welcome New York City Principals and Teachers!
CaseNEX is pleased to offer free, online professional development courses to New York City principals and teachers. Courses include three sessions or 15 contact hours of work. Teachers can choose to complete the first course session during their professional development time.
Through CaseNEX courses, educators are exposed to the latest research regarding content knowledge and instructional strategies. All materials and assignments are accessed and completed online. You may complete the work for these self-paced courses at any time of the day or night.
The courses include multimedia cases with video of actual classrooms, students, teachers and administrators. Cases provide a "slice of life" that bring learning alive and form a realistic connection between professional development and the complex school environment. Case method learning encourages participants to reflect on what works, to collaborate on the design of solutions to instructional challenges, and to put theory into practice.
Below is a list of course offerings.

- Designing
and Assessing Technology-Enhanced Lessons
Technology has the power to revolutionize how we teach and broaden
what our students learn. This course explores how technology
supports learning and enables teachers to develop, teach, and assess
effective technology-enhanced lessons.
- IDEA: From Identification to IEP
This course addresses legal trends and issues related to the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and its 2004
Reauthorization. Course participants focus on the Individualized
Education Plan (IEP) process, from writing the IEP to ensuring full
and effective participation of all involved parties.
- Introduction to Phonics Instruction
The role of systematic and explicit phonics instruction in a reading
program for primary grade students has been recognized by teachers,
parents, and federal policy makers. This course provides an overview
of systematic phonics instruction and assessment in the primary
classroom.
- Narrowing the Achievement Gap by
Addressing Diversity
Connecting with students and valuing their broad and varied experiences
are keys to addressing the achievement gap. In this course, participants
will explore issues around culture and teaching, review tools that
will help them transform the curriculum, and modify instructional
strategies to meet the needs of diverse communities of learners.
- Using Alternative Assessments
This course focuses on developing and using alternative assessment
strategies that allow all students to show what they know so teachers
may better target instruction. Course participants will review and
evaluate various assessment approaches and develop strategies connected
to their own curriculum and students’ needs, including English
language learners and others for whom traditional assessments may
not provide an accurate measure of their knowledge and abilities.
