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.

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.
