The benefits of professional development in the classroom 

Back to school is here and now is the perfect time to continue your professional development. Keeping up to date on trends, technology, and certifications will not only benefit your career, but also inspire your students to achieve their best potential in the classroom. 

Fortunately, you don’t have to look far for professional development opportunities. Our full suite of offerings provides you with opportunities to take virtual training sessions with our dedicated Professional Development team, earn course certificates, and find a multitude of resources for back-to-school. 

Even if your region doesn’t require ongoing professional development, there are still many reasons why you should continue learning. Here are a few of our favorites:  

Education is ever-evolving, especially as edtech continues to advance. Many school districts are increasing their experiments with everything from A.I. to the latest software and teaching tools. With our vast library of courses and ongoing live training sessions, we’ll guide you through the current trends so you can focus on what’s important: taking what you learn and translating it into creative lessons. 

Make lesson planning a piece of cake 

Professional development is more than just taking a course: it’s a way to improve your teaching skills and create engaging lessons. Learning how to use tools like Explain Everything or Spinner will renew your excitement for teaching while helping your students achieve their learning outcomes. Further, taking advantage of our Professional Development orientations gives you tips and tricks for your ActivPanel. You’ll quickly see how you can use your ActivPanel to create more interaction and excitement for your students. More excitement means your students will retain even more from your lesson. 

Find your social network 

Joining our Professional Development live training isn’t just about learning: you’ll have opportunities to collaborate, share ideas, and build a network with other teachers across the country.  Having a community with other teachers, even virtually, can help you find new skills, get excited about lessons, and find answers to your questions. 

Keep your upward momentum 

Our Professional Development sessions can bolster your career in many ways. Teachers who continue their education are more likely to be considered for leadership roles and promotions. Even if that’s not something you’re looking for, growing professionally often translates into more job satisfaction, increased passion, and confidence in the classroom and beyond.
