Research shows that improving teacher knowledge and enhancing teaching skills are essential components of raising student performance. Mindful of the evidence, today’s administrators realize the power of using digital technology to provide engaging learning experiences for their teachers and staff. Administrators also realize how essential it is that their teachers possess a broader array of media skills and the ability to integrate technology across the curriculum.
These realizations, however, are accompanied by great challenges, including limited budgets, less available time, and large geographic school districts. The traditional professional development model—where teachers gather in one geographic location shortly before the start of a new school year—no longer is viable.
Virtuosity, which understands the challenges institutions and districts must overcome to provide the best training possible, strives to provide the most effective and innovative Online Professional Development infrastructure solutions—at prices districts of all sizes can afford. eLearning solutions help administrators, teachers, and staff develop online content, courses, and virtual learning environments; assess, track, and report progress; deploy district-wide teacher training; and more.
Further, Virtual classroom solutions provide dynamic virtual training management tools that increase professional development efficiency:
• Breakout rooms allow small group work, and they can help trainers focus on more individualized needs.
