Professional Development

It's not just the technology.

It's how you use it.

You have the technology -- now start using it! SmartEd Services understands that every school's professional developments needs are unique. Yet they all share a common goal: effective use resulting in student achievement.

Whether you're looking for an introductory session to launch your faculty's use of SMART Notebook™ software, or require customized content focusing on specific curricular goals, SmartEd Services' Professional Development Team has the expertise to help you achieve the results you need.

Professional Development sessions are based on best practices. Our staff is comprised of the largest number of SMART® Certified Trainers in North America for one company. More importantly, we infuse professional development with our collective educational backgrounds that include k-12 classroom teaching experience.

Technology integration goes beyond the installation. It encompasses providing educators with the tools to succeed and ensuring that they understand the most effective ways to instill technology into the curriculum.

How do we do that?

By supporting the "continuous cycle of improvement" model determined by the National Staff Development Council as the optimum method for helping educators incorporate new ideas into teaching. SmartEd Services' professional development is devoted to improving teacher learning by valuing prior knowledge and experience while helping educators explore the potential for student improvement that new technologies bring to teaching. This multi-tiered approach to infusing technology into teaching can support continuous improvement at your school, impacting teachers--as well as students--of all learning styles.
