Campuses and districts need flexibility in budgeting and scheduling their staff’s professional development hours. This private, online course allows your school or district to have a 7.5 hour workshop at a lower cost than a brick-n-mortar training and with flexibility in the presentation formats:

Professional Learning Communities (PLC) and Vertical Teams (PLC);
1. Gather a group of teachers together and view each section, pausing to clarify and discuss how the skill or concept may be differentiated for students;
2. Discover best practices
3. Troubleshoot together
4. Strategize when and how to introduce, develop, and master certain skills to specific grade levels
Individual Teachers
1. View and review segments of the series in the privacy of your classroom or home to gain a better understanding and to plan the delivery of instruction
2. Highlight certain segments with your students either with or without Dr. Louis’ video and audio in the background

The Expository/Informational Writing Across-the-Curriculum Self-Paced In Service is for ELA and Non ELA teachers in grades 3-12. You may have up to 50 teachers for $2,500. After 50 teachers, simply add $45 per teacher. We also discount our regular price for teacher materials and master copies. Use “InService” as your coupon code.
