Professional Development Face-To-Face

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT : FACE TO FACE

At SupportEd, we are go-to experts for face to face and blended professional development (PD) to support English learner (EL) achievement. We create original PD content framed around research, best practice, our best-selling books, blog posts, and other original content. Our PD embodies effective tenets of adult learning theory by including modeling strategies through interactive activities and classroom video clips. All of our PD incorporates application tasks that provide an opportunity for participants to apply what they have learned to their own context and students.
