Professional Development Workshops for Educators
Collaborative opportunities to learn new skills and strategies that can be applied right away.
Virtual, hands-on workshops allow educators to learn new skills for personal and professional career advancement while working in a collaborative environment with peers across the nation!
Learn from experts
Our trainers are classroom educators, educational thought leaders, and educational consultants. Trainers lead workshops on topics they are experts in, passing on their knowledge to other educators to help them grow in their profession and become better educators, which ultimately leads to increased student achievement.
Collaboration and networking
Personal and professional growth is best done by building new relationships and connections. Virtual workshops provide an environment that fosters collaboration with other like-minded peers striving to grow themselves. Who knows, maybe attendees will make new national and international friendships!
Assessment and evaluation
In addition to formative discussions on the activity stream, workshops end with an action item or takeaway task. Teachers can take what they've learned and apply their newfound knowledge in their classrooms the next day. We encourage teachers to share a picture on Instagram using the hashtag #SK12Training of them applying their new knowledge to share with other teachers worldwide.
Virtual engagement
Virtual workshops are designed based on the constructivism learning theory because teachers as learners construct knowledge rather than passively take in information. Teachers as learners bring their own unique experiences to each training and the ‘social’ nature of the classroom allows for collaboration and feedback. Learners participate in interactive discussions in Google Classrooms, hands-on activities, and takeaway(s) provided by trainers.
Novel ways of thinking
Our community of educators who attend workshops is filled with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and knowledge. When we all come together, new ideas and perspectives are shared. We share – and grow together.
Fun, motivational, and inspirational
Workshops are highly informative, high-quality training that allows for interaction with other educators. We motivate each other and inspire one another to be our best educator selves.
