Research states that professional learning is essential to
effective classroom implementation. According to Simon, Johnson,
and Quick et al. (2009),
change is not a solitary event: it is a process that occurs over time.
Therefore, we are committed to providing a professional plan that
provides teachers
with opportunities for learning over an extended period of time.
Product-Specific Training
We offer a blended-learning approach that allows us to fulfill your
professional needs while keeping mandatory meeting times to a minimum.
Our plan offers
flexibility for both a district and its teachers. Blended learning
combines the best of face-to-face interaction with the flexibility of
online instruction. Each
of the plans below combines a mixture of face-to-face, webinars, and
online courses.
