Salt Lake City (PRWEB) December 05, 2013 -- School Improvement Network, the leader in educator effectiveness resources, today announced a new training resource to train educators remotely on tools, resources, and research-proven methods to increase student learning through educator effectiveness. The new Distance Learning course teaches educators to access the tools and resources in PD 360 and Observation 360, which together bring educators personalized observations supported by robust, prescriptive professional development to foster educator effectiveness and increase student learning.
“The best way to increase student learning and college and career readiness is to give educators the tools and resources they need to continue growing as professionals and become as effective as possible,” said Chet D. Linton, CEO and president of School Improvement Network. “Our Distance Learning course allows educators access to training that may be hard for them to obtain geographically, but extremely beneficial to their professional growth and their ability to personalize instruction to reach every student and help them build a 21st century skillset.”
