Flipped Professional Development

Sometimes, campuses and districts need flexibility in budgeting and scheduling their staff’s professional development hours. This course allows your school or district to have an 8-12 hour workshop at a lower cost than a brick-n-mortar training and in a variety of formats: 1) Professional Learning Communities (PLC); 2) Departments; 3) Vertical Teams; and/or 4) Individual Teachers — during conference periods or before/after contract hours.

Teachers may view and review the segments at their convenience for optimum learning. And because each teacher will have his/her own course, s/he may present portions of the videos to students.

English II Literacy is designed to provide secondary teachers (10th grade) with a skill-based professional development program that encompasses the skills students need to master literacy. A school or district may purchase a one-year subscription for this series for up to 50 teachers for $2,500. Or, individual teachers may purchase a 60-day subscription for the individual price listed. IP’s are limited to three devices.

Subscription Prices:

  • Entire Series: $350
    • One individual license
  • To purchase Campus and District licenses Contact Us.
