How it works

The beauty of online PD? No need to schedule dates or get subs. Our team will take care of onboarding teachers and coaches.

Once your educators are enrolled in the Be GLAD course, they will have access to a core PD model that aligns with all of your district initiatives. Provide your staff with the PD they want and deserve by reducing costs and stress while increasing collaboration.

Once your staff completes the training, they will be certified as Be GLAD teachers! See the results in the classroom as your staff continues to revisit the course for further implementation of the GLAD model. Your staff will have online access to Be GLAD Trainers who can answer any questions they may have.

Training program

Our PreK Training is provided in an online format. The training is composed of 6 chapters, which include Research/Theory & Classroom Demonstration videos so that your staff can visualize what these strategies will look like in their own PreK classrooms! Movements, pacing, and delivery will be shown for each strategy in a live PreK classroom.

The online GLAD training was thorough and very informative. The video models of strategies being implemented within the classroom were a fantastic part of this great training. As a secondary teacher, it would have been nice to see a couple of examples of a few of the many fantastic techniques implemented at the middle or high school level or even just a quick reference guide after each section that would assist secondary teachers in implementing and tweaking these strategies as necessary.
