What is the value of IAT’s Professional Development?
Most teachers who have received Professional Development from It’s About Time have expressed a greater comfort level with their understanding of both inquiry-based teaching and the pedagogy of our curriculum. Even after they become familiar with our structure and methodology, teachers continue to benefit from the ongoing discussions that occur in our workshops. These discussions enable teachers to exchange their ideas and experiences with one another, while also sharing any challenges they might face with a Professional Development Expert. Participants appreciate the opportunity to learn about the curriculum and the related science content from our experienced instructors. In the process, teachers gain true perspective on how to successfully implement the program in their schools. Professional Development workshops help guarantee that the classroom experience will be as smooth as possible for everyone involved.
