UEN-TV Teacher Workshops

Access Professional Development on UEN-TV

Our FREE televised workshops are nationally produced by Annenberg Media. They offer lively glimpses into classrooms and current teaching practices, providing an unparalleled, authoritative professional development method that is part of a rigorous model.

This includes four parts: Initial orientation, televised workshops, online participation, and an optional final review project to meet Utah State Office of Education (USOE) or Southern Utah University credit guidelines and No Child Left Behind (NCLB) standards.

These workshops are intended to strengthen the professional credentials of educators at all levels. Workshops are appropriate for preservice and inservice teachers and are targeted to specific curricular areas and Grade Levels - “middle school Math teachers,” for example. You will find training in content and education theory and practices, as well as supplemental video programs called teaching practices libraries that give a “fly-on-the-wall” view of real teachers in real classrooms.

Workshops air on UEN-TV, weekly on Saturdays usually for 8 sessions of 60 minutes each. For details about offerings and to register, go to the Utah Education Network Professional Development Web site at www.uen.org/development or call toll free 1-800-866-5852.
