Empowering teachers to empower students.

As effective educators, you inspire your classrooms. But where can you find the latest in best practices for teaching effectiveness? Or, one-on-one feedback with a professor serving as a mentor? Or, practical helps that respect your experience as a professional educator?

These are important questions whether you’re an elementary teacher or secondary teacher, or an administrator who sees the value of professional development.

The Professional Educators Initiative from Ball State University’s Teachers College was designed to support elementary and secondary educators who wish to elevate their teaching effectiveness to an even higher level.

What’s more:

• Our four-week, online professional development (non-credit) modules correspond directly to Indiana’s evaluation standards, whether your school uses RISE, TAP, or another system.
• Modules are taught by Ball State Teachers College faculty—professors who come from a tradition of teaching excellence and who are actively engaged with Indiana schools.
• Modules are being offered at a low cost for individual teachers—only $199 per module. Plus, we offer group pricing for schools and districts.
• Classes are highly interactive, including peer-to-peer interaction with teachers across the state.
• Assignments will allow you to put the knowledge you learn immediately to use in your own classroom. In fact, you should be actively teaching a class or teaching in another type of educational setting to enroll in a module.
