welcome to the futureAs technology evolves daily it’s critical to establish a successful continued training model that will provide your staff a year round option to embrace these changes.

welcome to successIt is our responsibility to create a customized training model that makes the accessibility of training available online and across multiple medias in real-time.

welcome to our e-classroomOur revolutionary training model is continuously evolving to combat differentiated learning methods to ensure materials delivered have the highest succession rate.

Hello! The Future Is Now!

Weekly Training Sessionscommited to sucessTo maximize the success of this training model a building block weekly training methodology will establish long-term retention. Each week building off the prior.

content deliveryShort, user friendly and direct materials will be presented in laymon’s terms to create a non threatening environment for individuals who are intimidated by technology.

building blocksTraining starts from the initial email blast sent educating the participants about this weeks training material. We utilzes all three learning styles (visual, auditory & kinesthetic) during training sessions to ensure all participants process and retain the material.

strategically plannedTraining is strategically planned in direct coordination with Gary Community School Corporation’s IT Department to ensure the materials demonstrated will prove the greatest results for staff’s daily needs.

target demographicsWe look to reach staff members with a wide range of technological knowledge. We specialize in staff members with limited knowledge and/or that are nervous about new technologies. Our CARE FIRST approach is integrated with all training sessions. Our material is easy to process, easy to learn and actually useful in the classroom.

1:1 technologyOur academic training model embraces the 1:1 Technology Infrastructures. We integrate with the technologies you currently have to make our trainings accessible to the mass population of your staff with ease and simplicity.

adaptive learningOur training model is tailored on the premise that learning cannot be achieved on a large-scale using traditional, non-adaptive approaches. Our adaptive learning systems endeavor to transform the learner from a passive receptor of information to a collaborator in the continued educational process.

synchronous learningOur training model creates a learning environment in which everyone takes part at the same time. Our training sessions allow the attendees to take part on their own equipment in real-time during the training course. By involving staff during the learning process we maximize the success rate of information learning. We recognize the importance of this instructor to student relationship.

Learning Is A Weekly Process!

How It Works

step oneOur training material is distributed via email and published live online for staff to preview prior to the online training session. Staff has four days to register online for the upcoming weeks training course.

step twoTraining courses are held at two various times on a specific day of each week to reach the maximum impact for the highest engaged attendance within the district. Mid Day & Evening online classes are offered to accommodate staff schedules.

step threeOnline training is available via the website and computers. The course training material are also available via computers, laptops, iPads, surfaces, and smart phones.

Our interactive training involves HD screen sharing technology, online video conferencing, online chat and HD VOiP telephone communications.

Weekly each of the three key points are taught for 15 minutes each; totally 45 minutes of comprehensive new material per session. Then a town hall style open forum question period is available for an additional 30 minutes. This will allow the staff an opportunity to ask questions pertaining to that weeks training course.

21st Century eLearning!

step fourThe training material will be made available online for the duration of the entire school year and made available to your entire staff (not just those who attended the training course). This will help staff to retain and revisit material 24/7 – 365.

bonus testingA Five Question short test is administered at the end of each training to test immediate retention of the information. This also ensures accountability for staff involvement and points out areas we can continue to assist that staff member to learn this material.

support doesn’t stop thereWe understand that certain users will need additional questions answered after the training course. We’re ready for that also! We provide continued training support via email throughout the entire school year. For example, if a teacher is at home and trying to use one of our professional PowerPoint templates but runs into a problem she is not alone. She can fill out our support form and we will gladly assist her to a resolution. We believe time spent trying to ‘figure out’ a program is simply time wasted. If in the event the problem is too great we will then call her to assist her through the problem!

Customized For Your StaffStaff will receive the current weeks training via email blast. This will include the lesson, resouces and step by step instructions of what will be covered in this weeks session. It’s a proven fact that technology is going to continue to integrate into most aspects of our lives and with that we must constantly adapt to these ever changing technologies. We categories your staff into three different categories;

POWER USERS (Highly Effective Technology Users) LIMITED USERS (Basic Fundamental Users)

DISCONNECTED (Not Effective Technology Users)

The Power Users and Disconnected Users are the two areas of staff members our building block training model strategically targets.

Power Users within each building are the main points of contact for Limited Users that are trying to learn / accomplish basic tasks.

We empower the Power Users on how to maximize the technologies they actually use day to day. With this vertical training integration we not only teach them how to use the software but how to use time saving tools and custom designed project templates. Thus streamlining their creation process in professional and effective teaching tools without wasting time. We strengthen each Power Users core knowledge base and teach them how to maximize their available tools to create a rich, intriguing and insightful lesson plans.

Our Building Block model also targets the Disconnected Users. Just like the issue every school in the United States faces with the bottom 10% of student who are disconnected from the education process, the same holds true with our educators who are not engaged and active with these daily technologies. Many training programs are geared for users who have a solid basic foundation of the computer. Our CARE FIRST approach which specializes in educators who are new to technology, scared of computers or simply never had a core foundational training.
