Success Series Cohort
A 4 Week Live Cohort to walk step-by-step through:
The Success Series Cohorts for Primary Learning and Blended Learning are launching on April 12th!
**Space is limited**
If you’ve seen those teachers on YouTube or Twitter that seem to know exactly what to do and make using all of the tech tools look easy, but wonder “why is it not working for me?”, then we’ve got news for you my friend!
Not only are those teachers just showing you one small portion of what their entire daily routine consists of, but you don’t get hands-on interactive support to then implement what you learn. As you know with your students, it's one thing to see something and it’s a whole other to actually do something.
So, in our Success Series Blended Cohorts, we’re walking you step-by-step through:
-How to create impactful lessons
-How to engage your students
-How to accurately assess student learning
All inside live and recorded trainings over the course of 4 weeks. By the end of 4 weeks, we aren’t leaving you on your own to implement everything in your classroom. Nope! You’ll be partnering with your trainer to then build a comprehensive action plan that is customized to your classroom so you leave this cohort knowing exactly what you’re going to do in your classroom the next day, the day after that, and so on.
Learning transitions? Student engagement? Using tech tools? You’ve got this!
The live Cohort launches on Monday, April 12th at 4:00 pm PDT
