OUR PROGRAMS
The Teaching and Learning Foundation offers complete instructional support programs for in-service teachers and their students
100% of teachers have new assignments at some point in their career. Certainly they do when they first start as a novice teacher, then again, occasionally as an experienced teacher. The Expert Systems for Teachers™ is a practical, economical solution in situations where teachers need to be not only 1) technically highly-qualified by passing a general subject-area test, but also 2) prepared with subject-specific instructional and mentoring support to be a highly-effective teacher for a specific course within the subject area. If you are just starting to teach a course for the first time or have taught it for a year or two, these instructional supports will be helpful in getting any teacher “up to speed.”
What's best for me?
Below are listed 3 ``just-in-time`` options to assist with school and district teacher recruitment, development and retention issues. These options address the needs of teachers with new subject assignments, whether novice, experienced, technically qualified or not.
Expert Systems for Teachers®
Individual Teachers with new assignments may find subject-specific instructional support and subject-specific mentoring teacher access through the Expert Systems for Teachers® Series helpful. This support may be ordered at the Teaching-Point.net Catalog pages and shopping cart or through school P.O.
Independent Study Courses
The Foundation has developed the Expert Systems for Teachers® to include 100 subject-specific courses for both public and private school recruitment, development and retention of in-service K-12 teachers. The courses:
- Enable in-service teachers to become better prepared for new assignments
- Award half of the hours toward K12 teacher license renewal upon approval of your school or district
- Provides a path to highly-qualified certification, particularly when unavoidably assigned out-of-field, and
- Helps prepare teachers to be highly-effective.
- Empirical evidence of success is provided at university partnerts
Combined Subscription Service
A combined subscription service to the entire Expert Systems for Teachers® from Teaching Point series provides support for teachers. This service combines 1) the Teaching Point subject-specific instructional support for teachers (as described nearby) with 2) online courses (approved by schools or districts) that lead to CEU’s or points toward recertification (after passing a post-test exam). Interested school or districts may add online courses (in some cases, where necessary, through their State Department of Education approval process) for use as CEU’s or points toward recertification by submitting their forms of approval to be completed by the Foundation. Simply use the Contact page to send a request.Empirical evidence of success is provided at the university partners.
