Partners in Learning Teacher Education Initiative
New teachers are excited to learn about the latest tools to make teaching more enjoyable and more effective. That’s why they are perfectly suited for education about new technologies. This initiative offers a professional development workshop for your school of education faculty to help them teach the use of new technologies to pre-service teachers. The initiative also helps your faculty incorporate these new technologies into their own practices ultimately benefiting your organization.
Microsoft is partnering with nine universities around the world to develop this two-day workshop for education faculty. Each institution will send faculty members to be part of our advisory board to create the workshop syllabi and facilitate the first series of workshops.
