Salt Lake City (PRWEB) November 21, 2013 -- School Improvement Network, the leader in educator effectiveness resources, today announced nine new video segments featuring teaching strategies demonstrated by effective educators in real classrooms in four states. The new videos are part of PD 360, the most widely used online professional development solution in the US.
“Giving educators access to expert-vetted teaching strategies that are shown to increase student learning and engagement is essential to helping every educator become as effective as possible and preparing 100 percent of students for college and career,” said Chet D. Linton, CEO and president of School Improvement Network. “As part of the PD 360 video library, these new teaching strategies give educators tips, resources, and expert-vetted pedagogy that can readily and quickly be applied in any classroom to make a meaningful, positive impact in helping students master content and build skills to support their continued growth and education.”
The teaching strategies videos include the following segments:
• “The Daily 5” - a student literacy program outlining five activities to increase student literacy

All nine teaching strategy segments can be accessed as part of PD 360’s video library of over 3,000 expert-produced training videos.
