Three steps to 21st century teaching

 

Learning is a process. With PolyVision professional development offerings, you’ll quickly learn the secrets of facilitating learning in a 21st century classroom… in three easy steps.

 

Teachers need a learning curve, too. That’s why PolyVision designs tools to support gradual growth and implementation. You can begin using PolyVision interactive whiteboards almost as soon as they arrive in classrooms—with no need for special training or software. As you become more comfortable integrating the interactive whiteboard into the classroom, the ways you use the tools become more advanced.

Professional development

Professional development options are based upon a district or school’s current investment in technology and software, and are aimed at empowering teachers to engage students to process, remember and apply information better—leading to stronger performance in school, on standardized tests and in life.

• Onsite, in-person professional development helps teachers progress from basic users to expert integrators.

• Webinars: Customized to levels of use and goals of the participants; cover topics spanning instructions for basic interactive whiteboard use to guidance and ideas for creating advanced lesson plan.
• Virtual mentors: Give PolyVision interactive whiteboard users access at any time to training development specialists for help answering questions about using the whiteboards, creating and integrating lesson plans, or developing curriculum.
• Demonstrations and instructional videos: Walk through board usage and lesson plan development via instructional videos available through both PolyVision and companion software provider RM Easiteach.
