Unconference Your Professional Development

More than ever, educators are revolutionizing professional development by turning to participant-driven learning. Teachers are realizing in greater numbers that they are less likely to benefit from driving to a specific location to gather in a classroom-like environment around a whiteboard for a day-long presentation. Teacher Essentials® provides a comprehensive learning library for teachers wanting to “unconference”.

Teacher Essentials® lessons can be used as a catalyst for discussion during professional development events, focusing the group on a specific topic area. Alternatively, teachers can select what they want to learn from the catalog and work in groups of any size, or as individuals to build instructional strategies in areas of personal interest or need. Anywhere, anytime access means the lessons will fit any schedule.
