Progressive Educator

Progressive Educator (not being actively developed at this time) believes relationships are the bedrock of teaching and learning. We create opportunities for connecting, learning and sharing so that together we might transform our classrooms, schools, communities and public education.

Through the use of innovative tools and technologies Progressive Educator is dedicated to inspiring, training, and energizing teachers for the long haul so that we may flourish in this challenging, yet vital profession.

Progressive Educator provides a growing list of engaging and practical workshops offered by expert teachers. Workshop participants can extend their “workshop experience” online by receiving support and sharing work with other participants. Progressive Educator also creates and publishes online education media. This content includes interviews with leading education experts and outstanding practitioners, screencast tutorials of popular education software, and a growing library of instructional “how-to” videos that include strategies for English learners, reading comprehension, art and drama integration, and so much more.
