 This free course is not for the beginning teacher. This course is meant for educators with experience and the discipline to look into minute, but critical, aspects of their teaching and behavior.

• If you are an enthusiastic educator ready to dive into your practice, this course is for you.

• If you are one of those teachers who never finds themselves able to find value in staff development, this course is for you.

 This course can seem "picky" at times, but implement the techniques and see how valuable they are. Besides, you're ready!

 Each week describes a classroom situation, offers a solution, and provides extension activities or research for further study if you are interested. The topic will advance about once per 7 - 10 days. You can save the email correspondence and work at a pace that suits your busy life.

 You have nothing to lose! It is free and you can just unsubscribe at any time...If you still have an excuse to not participate, you are probably not ready to take this Advanced Language course. If that is so, I will welcome you back when you are ready.

 Let's advance the profession, enroll below!

If You Are New to the Tour, Welcome!

 

 You are about to embark on a private tour of the Education Illustrated catalog. Over the next several weeks (only one email per week), I will personally guide you through our product catalog and much more.

 

 What else...you ask? I am not just trying to sell you products, my goal is to meet your needs, exceed your expectations and make a positive impact in your professional practice. Aside from products, then, I will be offering tips for implementation, rationale for why their use is important, and evidence th2at we have a wealth of information behind our product selection and development. You will also hear tips, strategies and success stories from other teachers. Many of their comments taught us how to evolve as a company and develop products and shape classrooms and minds around the country. Several free resources will be offered on this tour that are not readily available anywhere else! There will be no pressure to purchase anything...really! I am appreciative of the chance to offer you information that will likely meet your needs.

 

 Is there something you want or need, but don't see it in our store? Just let us know and we will help you find it at another vendor. We can do this because service is truly our top priority. We are also extremely confident that we are the best at what we do, making a difference in classrooms and minds.

 

The goal of this tour is to provide information!

 

 All of us at Education Illustrated LLC look forward to improving your life!
