What educators are saying:

• Thinking Like a Historian: Understanding and Teaching Historical Thinking Skills in South Carolina Social Studies 
  "The training increased my understanding of content more and how to apply each skill to lessons. I can better prepare lessons and activities for my students to increase their understanding of content and to prepare for the EOC."
   
• The Power of Words: Engaging Families through Effective Communication 
  "I found this training to be very valuable in deepening my understanding of family engagement and effective communication strategies. The information was clear, practical, and directly applicable to real classroom situations..."
   
• Biology Unlocked: Designing High-Impact Instruction to Master Standards and Ace the EOC
  "This training has helped me to see that I need to adjust my teaching and assessment styles to better sere my students. As a veteran teacher of 34 years, things have changed. Student learning styles have changed and I need to adjust to those changes."
   
• Adventure Awaits: Integrating SCETV Virtual Field Trips into your Curriculum 
  "This training had a positive impact on both my understanding and instructional planning skills. It helped me better understand how virtual field trips and interactive experiences can be intentionally aligned with grade-level standards rather than used as an “extra” activity. I gained a clearer picture of how important the before, during, and after phases are in ensuring that students are engaged, focused, and able to reflect on their learning."
   
• Effectively Using Media in the Classroom 
  "The training on adding media to instruction strengthened my understanding of how intentional media use can deepen learning rather than simply increase engagement. I became more skilled at selecting media that directly supports learning objectives... "
   
• Canva for Education: Canva 101 
  "My students already use Canva, and I feel as though I have been left behind. After I explore it a little more, I should be able to integrate assignments in Canva into my classroom. I have tried in the past, but it was hard for me because I didn't truly understand it. Now I feel a little more comfortable with the platform." 
   
• Unlocking the Power of Small Groups 
  "Honestly, at the high school level, I had not considered the impact that small groups could make in my classroom. When you think about small groups, you typically think about elementary or special education. I can see how this could play a pivotal role in differentiation of instruction and be extremely useful to my students."
