Our Courses Take Teachers Through A Process of Concept Mastery, Planning & Feedback Leading Them To a Full Strategy for Implementation Into Their Own Classroom
Most Professional Development today focuses on teaching concepts and theories important to education without providing clear guidance on how to actually apply these new ideas to a real-world classroom. Our courses move beyond this approach and provide a structured process that combines learning, application, & tools to produce teaching excellence.
Our standardized course structure optimizes the quality of the learning experience by allowing teachers to not only master the concepts behind new strategies, but importantly how to apply these strategies with their own students. Using a step-by-step approach, teachers are provided with training, coaching, planning tools, and all resources needed to implement a clear plan-of-action in their classroom.
Teachers Follow This Workflow As They Progress Through The Course:
STEP 1
Demonstration & Mastery
Teachers are walked through the theory behind and steps needed to implement the new strategy in their classroom. Teachers participate in high-quality video presentations, virtual discussion boards and complete content-aligned activities.
STEP 2
Planning & Tools
As they progress through the course, teachers build a personalized plan of action, ready for use in their classroom, using pre-built tools, step-by-step lesson planning templates, graphic organizers, and worksheets.
STEP 3
Feedback
Our instructors provide feedback on activities and teacher-developed action plans to ensure mastery of the key concepts and effective implementation of their new plan.
STEP 4
Implementation
Along with their action plan, teachers will have the tools and resources needed to implement the new strategy. Our instructors provide follow up support as well as supply effectiveness rubrics for in-classroom observation from administrators.
Support In-School PLC’s Using Our 1-Hour Quick Courses
Model Teaching Quick Courses are cost-effective, quick PD for teachers with action items, ready-to-go resources, and specific content that gets straight to the point. Our concise, in-depth lessons focus on a narrow topic that provides a holistic presentation of key concepts you can learn and be ready to implement in one hour or less. You can choose to watch the video lesson, read the downloadable article lesson, or both, giving you the flexibility to continue your professional learning in the format of your choice. While perfect for individual learning, these courses are also great for PLCs and other school-related staff development, training, and self-paced online instruction.

I have learned so much and improved my teaching tremendously since taking these courses- I wish we could use these courses in place of our teacher in-service!
Thank you for putting all these wonderful courses together in one spot for such an affordable price.
Wow- I am really impressed with how good the content is in these courses. I’m so happy they were so affordable!
What a great course. I loved realizing that I need to slow down and really make sure that I am starting with the end in mind.
What an amazing course. I have enjoyed every detail. It loved all of the visual resources.
This course was very thorough in explaining what Claim Evidence Reasoning CER in the Science Classroom is and how to implement CER writing in the classroom. The course gave great resources, as well as offering practice and reflection.
This course was an excellent intro for Literacy Stations for PreK-2nd Grade. I found the lessons, reflections, and videos helpful and easy to follow. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to educate themselves more about literacy stations.
I have really enjoyed these courses and I have learned so much! I am using these courses to complete re-certification, but since I have access to these courses for a year, I plan to review them all again once I begin teaching. I will be printing out and using all the resources and templates in my classroom!
This workshop was so powerful for me. What you presented is now part of my goals and action plans for the school year, and I am so excited to put everything I learned into use. Thank you for a great course!
This training course was incredible. My leadership team learned so much about themselves and what we need to do on our campus. I want my entire staff to hear this message!
What you presented in [this course] is now part of my goals and action plans for the school year. I’m so excited to put these to use!
My teacher said the training and support allowed her to truly understand her student’s data. As a new teacher, she found this very helpful!
I am not in a classroom right now, but I have an interview tomorrow and must bring a 6th grade ELA lesson plan!!!
Such perfect timing! I will incorporate this training right away!
This course was amazing. I have no training in reading instruction, but I know my [future classes] will include students who are well below their grade level in reading. I want to be able to help them become better readers before they leave my class.
