K-12 Professional Development
Capacity Building Solutions to Improve Teacher Effectiveness and Student Achievement

 

ELL

One of the most challenging issues facing teachers is the need to provide high-quality instruction for English Language Learners (ELLs) in content area teaching. Pearson’s ELL services and resources address these issues by enhancing the way teachers instruct students who are lacking in their English language skills.

 

Literacy

Research shows that it is the teacher who makes the difference in effective reading instruction. Pearson’s Literacy services and resources help you enhance learning in phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, spelling, fluency and comprehension and help you understand the components of an effective model of literacy instruction and intervention.

 

Mathematics

A student-centered, problem-based approach to teaching math will help students develop real understanding and confidence in mathematics. Pearson’s mathematics services and resources help educators translate pedagogical content knowledge into practical classroom application and help adapt mathematics instruction based on individual student needs.

 

RTI

Response to Intervention integrates assessment and intervention within a multi-level prevention system to maximize student achievement and to reduce behavior problems. With RTI, schools identify students at risk for poor learning outcomes, monitor student progress, provide evidence-based interventions, and identify students with learning disabilities or other disabilities. Pearson’s RTI services and resources can help educators understand effective interventions specific to content areas.

 

Technology & 21st Century Skills

Students today are immersed in technology. Educators need the right skills to engage them in the learning process. Pearson’s Technology services and resources can help your teachers plug in to 21st century skills, power up their use of technology as a bridge to learning, and get results in the classroom.

 

Books & DVDs

Allyn & Bacon/Merrill Professional Development provides the books that effectively blend academic research and practical application for today’s K-12 educators.

 

Institutes

Content area specific institutes led by Pearson experts and authors to help educators improve instruction, achieve results, and transform their classrooms.

 

District Training

Pearson’s evidence-based professional development programs are proven to help schools and districts improve teaching effectiveness and student achievement in high priority content areas and for special populations. Our capacity-building model includes professional development solutions for knowledge acquisition and application, coaching and modeling, just-in-time teaching strategies, and feedback and measurement.

 

Online Programs

High quality online resources to support learning about certain content areas, offering the practice teachers need and the guidance to implement effective instruction with their students.

 

Pearson Learning Teams

Improving teaching is the single most effective step we can take to improve student performance. Pearson's Learning Teams (LT) program helps teachers effectively use job-embedded professional learning communities to improve teaching, learning, and achievement. Principal instructional leadership is developed and is an integral part of the LT work. Based on twenty years of research, LT helps establish an infrastructure of leadership and ongoing professional development at each school that allows teachers to refine their teaching and produce better student results.
