In just 4 hours we can teach you everything you need to know to change your students' understanding of math forever.
Professional Development is paramount. Countless studies prove the importance of continual learning and appropriate application of learning how to use curriculum as having a direct correlation to the effectiveness of schools and school districts (Kaser, Mundry, Stiles, & Loucks-Horsley, 2001). Effective professional development must provide avenues for new learning, ideally about elements that can transfer directly into classroom settings and... should help teachers by building both content and pedagogical knowledge. (Balka, Hull, and Harbin-Miles, 2010). The outcomes of TouchMath's Professional Development Program are consistent with this research. 
Many math programs require days of training to learn how to properly administer. TouchMath is different. Its intuitive format is so easy to learn and a breeze to teach, get all you need to know in a 4-hour, hands-on seminar:
TouchMath has trained educators and administrators in thousands of school districts around the world! Attendees have spoken… there is a direct relationship between the strategies educators receive at a TouchMath seminar and the impact on teacher behavior and student learning of math… "High quality professional development is essential to increase educators' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and beliefs so that they may enable all students to learn at high levels. Following a TouchMath seminar, it is clear that educators' understanding of math is greater, thus student content knowledge is increasing." — Randy LaRusso, Exceptional Student Education Curriculum Coordinator, Brevard County Schools "The room was full of energy from the excitement about the TouchMath Program and the presenter's overall enthusiasm. When a team like TouchMath puts all areas of expertise together students benefit in many positive ways!" — Cyndi Chappel, CEC's Special Education Teacher of the Year "Unlike other seminars, you have an opportunity to actually be working the problems and interacting with your peers and the presenter." — Sue Koch, High School Special Education Teacher "I loved how interactive it was! It really made us think about the way we teach, beyond just instructional methods." — Lauren Duewer, Elementary Special Education Teacher "The presenter was very personable, got the audience involved, and we got to practice what we were learning and share best practices. It was great!" — Melinda Pruitt, Special Education Supervisor, Green County Schools |
