Professional Development Options

Build Better Educators

Students are not the only ones who benefit from virtual learning. With our expert help, the teachers in your district will learn new skills and strategies they can apply in face-to-face classroom instruction or in a virtual environment. Our collection of instructional tools directly benefits your teaching staff, equipping them to motivate and engage students at any level, in any forum.

Face Challenges Head-on

We recognize that there is tremendous pressure on educators to improve student achievement. We also understand that the demands of today’s educational landscape are constantly shifting. You might be challenged with utilizing digital components or online courses. Virtual may be your only option to expand course offerings or reduce class size. But, where do you start, how do you implement? Let us help you face these challenges head-on, so you can move forward and break new ground with confidence.

Teaching Online Series

Our online courses present best practices for virtual school and classroom environments, and can be accessed 24/7. Whether your classroom teachers are new to online learning, or have some experience, this webinar series will expand their skill sets.

Teaching Online 101 provides an introduction to online teaching, with five modules of content. Tested and proven time and again, this course is the ideal start for instructors at all levels who want to learn more about teaching and learning in the online world.

Teaching Online 102 goes on to explore appropriate topics for a slightly more advanced online teacher. This course encourages continued growth in best practices and technology for virtual educators.

Teaching Online 103 closes the series with six interactive modules. This course provides comprehensive literacy strategies for instructors working with students at all ability levels, from struggling to advanced readers.

eTeacher’s Guides

Our eTeacher’s Guides perform the same function as traditional teacher’s guides that accompany textbooks. Designed to complement our courses, eTeacher’s Guides provide teachers with their own virtual “walk-through” of a course, including a review of course content, theme, pace, syllabus, assessments, answer keys, rubrics, and course materials.
