Sign up now for 2012/13 School Year
Submitted by ggevalt on Sat, 03/24/2012 - 21:55YWP is firming up our school partnerships for the 2012/13 year. Our plans include lower costs, expanded mentoring support, improved Web platform and new professional development opportunities. We are working with a limited number of schools and want to make sure we are working with the schools most interested in our help in integrating digital technology into the classroom.
YWP Schools Project is more than a Web platform. Our service includes ongoing support to teachers throughout the year: formal training sessions, in-school meetings and technical and curriculum support via email, phone and Web conferences. We help teachers gain confidence in using technology of all kinds, help brainstorming curriculum adaptations, offer best practice ideas from other teachers and provide in-class support. Our value is providing teachers continuing support, something “free” software alternatives don’t offer. And YWP has a proven track record helping teachers engage students more deeply. The details:
