In response to teachers' desire for steamlined, web-based professional development options, McGraw-Hill Education announces the launch of its new professional development portal, McGraw-Hill Professional Development Online
Designed to provide a single point of entry for teachers to access professional development tools related to the Macmillan/McGraw-Hill and Glencoe programs, McGraw-Hill Professional Development Online will allow educators to gain a better understanding of how to get the optimal use out of the programs.
"Teachers have told us that they want online professional development options in an easy-to-access, streamlined format," said Steve McClung, president of McGraw-Hill School Solutions Group, which includes Macmillan/McGraw-Hill and Glencoe. "This portal will allow them to optimize the programs they are using while learning key skills they can use across subjects."
The portal offers an intuitive navigation that allows users to pinpoint the program, skill or topic area quickly. Teachers will particularly appreciate the video clips that show implementation strategies and real classroom usage.
Developed as another professional development option to in-person programs, the portal provides a variety of tools to assist teachers including eInservice programs, eClip Video Libraries, eVideo Workshops, eTech Training modules, Professional Development eWebinars and more.
