Inside this page:  Helen H Taylor Center | On-Site Professional Development | Technology Seminars Great classrooms and programs begin with well-trained staff members who are enthusiastic about implementing the curriculum effectively. To build a high-quality program and successfully implement curriculum and assessment systems, it is crucial to offer ongoing learning opportunities. Throughout the year, Teaching Strategies offers national conferences, on-site professional development, and technology seminars on our online assessment system, CreativeCurriculum.net. Our professional development services are hands-on, practical, highly interactive, and based on sound principles of adult learning theory. Participants are given ample opportunity to explore, discover, discuss, and reflect on the concepts that have been presented. Our select, dedicated Staff Development Network Trainers are the only trainers officially endorsed by Teaching Strategies to conduct workshops on The Creative Curriculum®. We recommend that you complete the On-Site Professional Development Needs Assessment Form and make your request for on-site training no less than two months in advance, especially during the popular summer months. Once your form has been reviewed by our staff, a member of our team will contact you to begin the planning process.
