In-person Teacher Training and Inservices (Interested in virtual training? ← Click here)

A note about Covid-19 in-person training:  On-site school district training is available again beginning November, 2021.  Our trainers and teachers are fully vaccinated and we travel with a hospital-grade air filter which removes 93%-99% of the SARS-2 virus particles from the room, in addition to other harmful particles like cold and flu germs.  We researched extensively before relying on this air filter to protect our teachers.  Here is the downloadable research on this air filter.  School districts that wish to order additional air filters can find them here:   The non-ozone Surface Pro plus at https://www.vollara.com/SAFEclasses    This is especially advised if the training room capacity exceeds 500 square feet.

Does Professional Development Get Results?

Research shows that teachers believe professional development is not helpful and there is little measurable impact on student achievement. Professional Development has to be relevant to subject matter, sustained and sustainable and systemic, so that administrators, students and parents are working cooperatively. This training is designed as an effective Professional Development that is built in cooperation with teachers.
