International Professional
Development

welcome opportunities to partner with various governments,
organizations and schools to help bring education in your country
into the 21st century.
We see and hear the phrase "21st century"
almost everywhere. Perhaps the term has become so ubiquitous that it
has lost much of its impact or meaning. However, the dramatic impact
of the ongoing technological revolution that ushered in the 21st century is
only growing. It is changing our world, the context in which our
students live and learn, in more dramatic ways with each new development.
Today's students live in a world that is extremely fast-paced, constantly
changing, increasingly culturally diverse, technologically driven, and
media-saturated. We cannot continue to deliver a 20th century,
scientific-management, factory-model education. This new context of
the 21st century requires that we redefine "education", "school",
"curriculum", "teacher" and "learner". It requires that we provide an
education designed to help our students truly succeed.
We offer educators the knowledge, the understanding, and the
tools to actually take their schools and classrooms into the 21st century.
New workshops include: Green Education, Differentiated
Instruction, Web 2.0 Tools for the Classroom, Emotional and Social Learning,
Multiple Literacies, Change, Classroom Management and Student Motivation,
and the Arts - Keeping Creativity in the Curriculum!
