EAGAN, Minn., Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ – Teaching Channel, a leading provider of online professional learning for educators, has launched the new Teaching Channel Platform(Open Link in new tab), a single resource for the professional development needs of K-12 and higher education teachers.

As a Title I district, Jackson Public Schools has faced many of the same challenges as most districts educating students living in an urban environment. Our scholars come from all walks of life. Some of our scholars live in stable homes, and some do not. 

Like many districts, we strive to improve student achievement every day at the Metropolitan School District of Decatur Township. That may be through our multi-tier system of support or through our extended-day program or after-school clubs offering enrichment and remediation for students who need it.

I’m the assistant superintendent at Metropolitan School District (MSD) of Decatur Township in Indiana. Despite the challenges created by the pandemic, including an ongoing teacher shortage in many areas, we have kept highly qualified teachers in front of our students. 

In 2017, in an effort to empower our teacher leadership and improve camaraderie and collaboration, the Decatur Township Metropolitan School District in Indiana started using video for coaching. Along the way, we found video of teachers in the classroom to be a powerful tool for encouraging teacher self-reflection, which led to tremendous growth. Here’s how we’ve made it work.

(EAGAN, Minn.) March 22, 2023 – Teaching Channel, a leading provider of online teacher education, today announced that it has joined forces with Learners Edge and Insight ADVANCE, to form the new Teaching Channel, becoming educators’ single source for graduate-level courses, professional development, video coaching, and classroom resources.

Numerous principals, assistant principals, superintendents, assistant superintendents, deans, assistant deans, district leaders, chief academic officers, and professional development coordinators have invested in Teaching Channel’s video library to recruit and retain high performing teachers, and ultimately, boost student achievement.
