For many school administrators, two of the most dreaded words during the “Back to School” season are Teacher Training. In fact, just the term Professional Development alone can elicit groans from admin as they work to balance all the extra responsibilities that the beginning of the school year brings against the in-the-moment needs of brand new teachers or new hires due to teacher turnover. Do you outsource the teacher training and not get exactly what you need? Or do you spend hours researching and writing the professional development yourself?
So what is the answer to the familiar “Back to School Teacher Training” Problem? CommonLit 360, of course.
