TRAINING METHODS TO SUIT EVERY TEACHER

Presented by Accelerate Learning


Accelerate Learning offers a comprehensive range of training methods designed to meet every teacher where they are, ensuring that professional development fits seamlessly into busy educator schedules. As the team behind STEMscopes—used by over 9 million students and 750,000 teachers across all 50 states—Accelerate Learning understands that effective professional learning requires flexibility and choice. Their training methods span on-site workshops for hands-on collaborative learning, virtual sessions for remote accessibility, blended formats that combine the best of both worlds, self-paced online courses for independent learners, online portfolios for reflective practice, individual and small group coaching for personalised support, and group workshops for team-based professional growth. Each format is delivered by experienced STEMscopes practitioners and trainers in partnership with the National Institute for STEM Education (NISE), ensuring consistently high-quality, research-informed content regardless of delivery method. This flexibility means districts can design professional learning programmes that accommodate diverse teacher needs, schedules, and learning preferences while maintaining the rigour and depth needed to improve STEM instruction.
