I've increased my EdTech strategies to keep my special needs students interested and engaged!”
Mr. Robinson
“After taking Dr. Wiscount's teacher professional development course, I was able to increase engagement with my students and families over the course of the school year. Accessibility was a key principle that I learned from Dr. Wiscount and in my planning. I can't wait to access another one of her courses in the future to increase my tech tool repertoire to reach my learners! ”
Mr. Smith
“Using EdTech, I started to stimulate the curious minds of early childhood students and support hands-on learning. Dr. Wiscount made navigating the technologies a breeze and helped me become tech-savvy and less afraid to use and create lessons using interactive tech tools.”
Ms. Rubino
“Dr. Wiscount’s PD course opened my world to a wide variety of EdTech tools and strategies that assisted me with engaging my students in the high school social studies virtual classroom.

FAQ
-
What if I haven't used a lot of technology in my instruction, student learning, and assessments in my classroom. Will these strategies be a lot for me to learn?
No worries at all. I step you through how to engage your students every step of the way. And you have a lot of autonomy based on your course content, your instructional style, and your students.
This course meets you where you are at. And what is great...you work on your 2022-2023 course(s) inside this teacher PD course, so you get all the support while you are planning, creating, and designing.
-
I'm SO NOT techy. I actually break out in hives thinking about it. This course may intimidate me. Will it?
Know you are exactly at the right place if technology, especially NEW technology gets under your collar.
When I coach my teachers, I start at the beginning and assume no prior experience or knowledge. I framed this course exactly the same way.
Whether you are tech-phobic or you love everything tech, this teacher PD course is the right place for you.
Plus, when you see the student engagement transformation in your classroom, you will be sold with tech!
-
My school district does not use an LMS (Learning Management System) like Moodle, Canvas, or Blackboard. May I still join this course?
Absolutely! There are free online learning environments out there and I will introduce two of them (Canvas and Google Classroom) to you in Module 2 which will be released in the second week of the course.
I have used both free LMSs and highly recommend them.
-
What is the life-work balance part of this course? I'm a bit confused how it will play into the course's curriculum.
Great question! I found with the teachers who I coached, if I don't meet them where they are at, and help them build solid practices to not only impact their classrooms in a positive way but support their life-work balance.
At the end of every module, I check in with my teachers in the course and offer a Life-Work Balance habit that I found works for me and the teachers I coached.
Getting teachers to a healthy life-work balance is one of the parts of this course I am committed to after COVID-19. Let's show the pandemic who has the power over our lives and peace of mind.
-
I put SO MUCH MONEY into my classroom already. Even though I am getting a lot for my money in this teacher PD course, I would rather not pay for it. What is another option?
I know and feel where you are coming from. As teachers, we DO put a lot of our own monies into our classroom for many different reasons.
I have an email template you may send your principal asking for a requisition or reimbursement for the $199 investment in this course.
No worries. I totally understand!
Go to this link and you will find the email letter template to complete and send to your principal. You will also find a link in this email template to include the course's Learning Outcomes for your principal to review.

Coaching teachers to experience the transformation in their classes is my mission and passion.
Helping teachers with technology over the last 17 years has given me a lot of fulfillment. I love hearing about the positive transformation in their classrooms as much as they love the increased student engagement!
Since March 2020 when the pandemic shut down schools globally, I felt called to help teachers, students, and parents, in a way that felt so deep to my core. I was definitely made for this stuff!
In my course, you will learn and get SO MUCH to help take you to the next level with tech in your classroom! This course has the potential to give you the kind of engagement transformation that lasts the rest of your career in education.
You will benefit by following these EdTech engagement strategies on both professional and personal levels. As you follow and use these strategies, roadmaps, blueprints, templates, and action plans, not only will you see increases in student engagement, excitement, participation, and achievement, you will find you have more time to give to do what you want to do.
More than anything, I want you to experience these kinds of engagement and time increases both professionally and personally.
All my best,
