Back to school is busy, professional development is hard to schedule, and CLASS® Connect is here to help!
Teachstone customers may now order an exciting new professional learning service, CLASS Connect. CLASS Connect is designed to help school leaders expand ways to deliver timely, self-paced learning to new teachers and those seeking more support to overcome daily classroom challenges. The new service goes live on September 16, 2024.
CLASS Connect redefines the way educators engage in professional development by combining flexible, self-paced learning modules with continuous, expert-led coaching workshops. It not only makes professional development programs easier but more engaging.
At Teachstone, we are deeply committed to putting educators' needs at the forefront of everything we do. Educators have told us they want professional development that blends flexible, engaging online learning with direct access to knowledgeable experts who can offer tailored feedback and support, all within a vibrant community of peers. They also need their valuable time to be recognized and rewarded, which is why we’ve ensured that CEUs are part of the package. I'm thrilled to introduce CLASS Connect, a program designed to deliver ongoing, high-quality professional learning directly to the educators who play such a crucial role in shaping the futures of our youngest learners.
