Great teachers help create great students. In fact, research shows that an inspiring and informed teacher is the most important factor influencing the student achievement, so it is critical to pay close attention to how we train and support both new and experienced educators. The best teacher improvement programs emphasizes subject matter mastery and provide many opportunities for students - teachers to spend time in real classrooms under the supervision of an experienced mentor. Just as professionals in medicine, architecture, and law have opportunities to learn through examining case studies, learning best practices, and participating in internships, exemplary teacher-preparation programs allow teachers the time to apply their learning of theory in the context of teaching in a real classroom.

Intellisis has many professional development programs that keep teachers up-to-date on new research on how children learn, emerging technology tools for the classroom, new curriculum resources, and more. Our programs include activities which are ongoing, experiential, collaborative, and connected to and derived from working with students aimed at understanding their culture.
