Mike Smith, PresidentThis brings Teaching Channel, a one-stop shop for teacher learning and development, to the forefront. Teaching Channel provides individual teachers, school administrators, and district leaders with graduate-level continuing education and professional development courses, a thought-provoking video platform, and an abundance of classroom tools and resources. Courses offer credits or clock hours per state requirements and help teachers renew licenses, advance on salary schedules, and excel in their careers. Course offerings include today's education hot topics, including mental wellness, IEP's, and technology, while equipping the educator to better meet the expectations of multiple stakeholders such as parents, district leaders, and students.
K-12 and higher education institutions often find it daunting to create unique and customized learning pathways for their teachers with diverse goals and interests and help them stay up-to-date with the latest educational trends and techniques. With over 300 graduate-level courses spanning wide-ranging topics like music, math, and English, it provides a solution to meet individual development needs and interests.
Teaching Channel’s one-of-a-kind ENGAGE Video Library offers over 1,500 videos of leading teachers with decades of experience demonstrating their techniques. The team has visited schools and districts from coast to coast to capture authentic footage of a classroom to enable an aspiring, new, or experienced teacher to improve classroom behavior strategies and learn creative ways to interact with and engage students. By learning and emulating the best teaching methods, teachers can drive student achievement.
Numerous principals, assistant principals, superintendents, assistant superintendents, deans, assistant deans, district leaders, chief academic officers, and professional development coordinators have invested in Teaching Channel's video library to recruit and retain highperforming teachers and, ultimately, boost student achievement.
The ENGAGE Video Coaching platform allows teachers to upload videos, share them for feedback with other teachers, mentors, instructors, and selfreflect. Video creates instant replay for both the teacher and observer, enabling quick, convenient, and practical feedback that allows educators to adjust and improve their teaching the very next day in the classroom.
A stellar testimonial by Kevin Eakes, Ph.D., assistant dean, assessment and professional practice school of education, health and human performance, College of Charleston, reads, "The robust repository of teaching videos was the first attraction to Teaching Channel. Name a subject, grade level, or instructional approach, and Teaching Channel has a resource."
We equip teachers with all the resources and tools to set them on a lifelong-long learning journey and help them provide students with equal opportunities to learn and achieve
Another glowing testimonial by Megan D, a teacher, reads, “Exceptional place to find fascinating courses that allow teachers to expand their minds and hearts.”
What steers Teaching Channel ahead of the competition is its team of former educators, principals, assistant principals, and district leaders with master's degrees or Ph.D. that understand the pain points schools and teachers have. They develop content and pedagogy, taking into account the nitty-gritty of a teacher's role.
"We have a deep understanding of the challenges schools and teachers face. We've taught in classrooms; so all our content is geared to be applicable in real-time and authentic to the sector," says Mike Smith, president of Teaching Channel.
The tagline, "Your Education Ally," is a testament to the empathy, respect, and praise Teaching Channel has for teachers. Integrating graduate-level and professional development courses, video coaching solutions, and a world-class video library, Teaching Channel provides a comprehensive range of offerings under one umbrella.
