On-Site Professional Staff

Development

If your school district has cut its budget by eliminating travel to out-of-district PD, or if you want a group or your entire staff to experience our workshops first hand, we can come to you!

Our professional development is designed as a model of the 21st century classroom - not "sit and get" as shown below -

But interactive - based upon the Learning Pyramid which illustrates that the highest level of learning occurs when the learners "teach each other and make immediate use of their learning" . . .

Please contact us now to reserve your dates for on-site professional development, both in the United States and abroad!

* Our workshops are being continually redesigned and updated to keep up with new technologies such as Web 2.0 tools, social media developments, current research and developments in education and our always evolving creative ideas for curriculum!
