Because effective implementation of The Creative Curriculum^® system requires on-going professional development support, Teaching Strategies works with programs to develop a customized plan that includes

• assessment of programmatic needs
• product education and selection
• on-going professional development services

Providing customized professional development services allows us to help programs ensure that their staff members have the skills and resources they need to implement the curriculum successfully. Typically, the same staff development specialist works with the organization to provide continued support.

The most efficient way to begin the assessment process is to complete our On-Site Professional Development Needs Assessment Form.

The Next Step

Once your completed assessment form has been submitted, a Professional Development Department staff member will contact you to discuss your professional development goals in greater detail. The information you provide helps us select one of our Staff Development Network Trainers for your program. 

The trainer will then

• develop a customized agenda for your professional development sessions
• discuss the logistics of your sessions, including hours, room arrangement, audiovisual needs, etc.

In the weeks preceding the training session, you will receive a contract and handouts for your participants. Your staff will also be asked to evaluate the session after it has been completed.

Payment is due when the session is completed. Teaching Strategies will send an invoice within 30 days of the completed session. The invoice will include the cost of the professional development session and actual travel costs incurred by the trainer, unless these have already been included in the session cost. Books and materials may be included in the contract price or invoiced separately.

Staff Development clients are eligible for a 20% discount on all Teaching Strategies resources. The discounted cost of materials may be built into the cost of the professional development session, or the discount may be applied to purchases made for a limited time after the session.
