Boxlight Professional Development Solutions | TITLE
Boxlight Professional DevelopmentBoxlight strives to provide the best tools to help teachers improve student outcomes. Through our
newest subsidiary, EOS Education, we can extend our commitment to schools and districts by
providing a rich portfolio of classroom training, professional development, and educator certification.
Together we provide engaging, differentiated professional development for teachers to ensure that every student
benefits from the technology tools available in their classrooms and schools. Our programs are built with
customization in mind, building comfort and confidence using the specific hardware and software platforms
available to the teacher. We adjust content to be relevant for different grade bands and subject areas, and then
scaffold application of this technology to meet instructional priorities.
Why Our Professional Development Is Unique
• Teacher-centric: We help teachers use the technology they have access to for their specific instructional
purposes—we go beyond just point and click.
• Hands-on: Teachers have an opportunity to practice new tech skills during sessions.
• Differentiated: Adjusted to current skills, knowledge, and teachers’ in-classroom practices.
• Job-embedded: Grounded in day-to-day teaching be relevant, engaging, and practical to implement.
• Student context: Introducing technology tools to students and how to engage them with purpose.

WHY BOXLIGHT | Boxlight Professional Development Solutions
MODES OF TRAINING DELIVERY
We deliver our training in a variety of formats, so it works for your budget and educators.
Face to Face (F2F) • Big groups (25+): Economy option for introducing new
technology/solutions.
• Small groups (PLCs, prep time, before/after school): Combining
training on technology with implementation for specific needs of a
given content area or grade level.
• One-to-one coaching: Individually assigned training objectives; can
be delivered in the classroom.
Online • Instructor-led, self-paced: Provides a lot of flexibility, so you can
learn on your own terms.
Matrix
• Blended approach: Combination of in-person instruction and online
learning means that training is available when and how teachers
prefer to learn.
Why Boxlight?Educating today’s students to prepare them for tomorrow can be a challenging task.
Education is more than just learning facts —it’s also building essential skills. It’s about
teaching students to approach learning creatively and with critical thinking. To be innovative
in their approaches and thought process. Achieving this while also incorporating the
technology and juggling an already full schedule can seem daunting.
We understand this and want to make teaching and learning technology as effective and
easy as possible. Our approach is not one-size-fits-all training. We take a teacher-focused,
customizable direction that makes sure we have professional development that works for
your tech, your teachers, and your students. We help teachers use the technology they have
with the way they teach. And it’s hands-on, so they are practicing the new skills in every
session.
We customize the training to the teacher’s skills and day-to-day routine, making sure to
enhance teachers’ content-specific instructional practices so students will be successful well
beyond just the classroom
All our trainers are former educators, so they understand how challenging learning and
implementing new skills can be. Their goal is to help your teachers save time and use
the tech they have more effectively. Successful teachers, successful schools, successful
students.
