TESOL Trainers - Experiential K-12 Professional Development

One of the aspects of our teacher training programs that everyone loves is how simple our materials are and how easy they are to implement.  We empower all educators to engage the whole of the learning with practical, powerful techniques they can apply the next day.

It's helpful to consider a few things when looking for the right resources.  Here are a few questions, I tend to ask myself:

  1. How do I make sure that my students find these materials just as engaging as I seem to?
  2. How can I make sure that resources as meaningful to my students' learning as they are to their level of engagement?
  3. How can I design the lesson so my students do more work than I, including when creating the materials?

TESOL Trainers - Exceptional K-12 Professional Development

Educators who participate in our K-12 professional development consistently give us high marks and constantly tell us that it was a highly valuable experience.  People who attend both our Virtual SIOP workshops and face-to-face sessions are amazed at how engaged they were and how much they got out of the experience.
