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! |
