TeachStream Professional Learning Online

In 1998, School Improvement Network created TeachStream� Professional Learning Online to answer the need of school systems to reach every teacher more effectively. Online courses are available on a wide variety of topics and allow teachers to learn at their own pace and at times that are convenient to them. These courses comprehensively train teachers in a specific topic through video segments and interactive lessons and activities.

Benefits of our online courses:

Bite-sized and Brain-friendly Segments

Each segment takes only 30 to 45 to complete, start to finish. Teachers are not overwhelmed by too much information and are able to retain what they've learned.

Engaging Content with Experts and Classroom Examples

Teachers learn from international experts and then see fellow educators modeling best practices in classrooms across North America. All classroom examples support the information being taught by the experts, and give teachers the confidence to implement new strategies and practices with their students.

Online Assessments

Assessments stimulate teachers to higher levels of thinking and include many implementation-centered activities to ensure that information learned in professional development makes it to the classroom.

Verification and Feedback

An approved facilitator (a principal, coach, etc.) can review a teacher's activities and give prompt feedback, allowing training to move forward quickly.

Powerful Online Accountability

TeachStream facilitates interaction between administrators and teachers, allowing for clear communication and shared responsibility.

Tracking and Reports

Teachers can view what segments they have completed, allowing them to stay organized and on track. Administrators can view reports showing participant summary data at department, grade, school, district, region, and state levels (depending on the administrator's access level), allowing them to stay updated on each participant's progress.

Implementation Planning and Training

To help teachers and administrators understand how to effectively use TeachStream and successfully implement what they learn in the classroom, we can assist with a professional development plan, design, and on-site implementation training.

Customize Content

We can design content to meet the specific needs of your school system. Call us at 1-877-350-6500 to find out how.
