Professional Development Training
Every school or school district has at some point made an investment in
learning technology that, for one reason or another, just hasn't paid
off. Schools are investing in professional development more than ever
to train and provide strategies for their most valuable resource —
their teachers.
We deliver training programs for teachers and
administrators that are designed to meet district objectives and
achieve critical success. Also available are product implementation
workshops that can be customized to meet district and state curriculum
standards. The Don Johnston Professional Services team will assist
your school district:
Develop highly qualified teachers by increasing knowledge in traditional and
alternative research-based literacy and learning strategies
Increase teacher retention by building effective learning communities that
provide access to research, classroom examples and education innovations
Meet NCLB standards and increase student scores by using differentiated instruction and data-driven assessment
