What the site offers and how to use resources
What are the benefits of on-site training?
We’ve seen that when teachers have time to ask specific questions and see examples firsthand, they are more more confident and willing to implement them in their own classroom.
With our VIP workshop, you can divide groups with more individualized training (novice vs. intermediate, middle vs. high school, new to site vs. returning teachers, etc.).
What's a typical PD day like?
Every training is a little different based on the group’s request and growth goals. We always show examples from the site, give teachers a chance to experience learning something new, not just listen. We learn best by doing!
Can I add the PD payment to my purchase order?
Yes, most schools prefer to bundle payment for coaching sessions or private workshops on the same invoice with their annual memberships. Let us know what you need and our billing team can customize this to fit your school’s requirements.
