professional development program

Thinkfinity's comprehensive Professional Development Program and teacher training courses are designed to help K-12 educators harness the power of Thinkfinity.org to enhance student learning.

Using a train-the-trainer model, we are building sustainability within states. Our Thinkfinity Field Trainers and Certified Trainers are passionate about sharing their knowledge of and enthusiasm for Thinkfinity. While both groups train educators and college of education faculty to use and integrate Thinkfinity resources, our Certified Trainers receive additional preparation that also qualifies them to train new Field Trainers.

Our training curriculum is delivered to educators across the country every day. Its format is flexible and geared to meet the needs of educators across grade levels and subject areas. We focus on integrating Thinkfinity resources into the curriculum to support content-specific objectives, as well as the skills needed to succeed in the 21st century. Furthermore, Thinkfinity delivers all of this training AT NO COST to you.
