Professional Development for Teachers
As an organization with over 30 years of experience in education and over a decade in cultural exchange, Educational Partners International (EPI) understands the needs of international teachers. Setting us apart from other organizations is our comprehensive professional development program for our teachers.
Throughout the program, each EPI teacher works directly with our professional development team. Teachers also have access to all of our exclusive professional development resources for free, including the online professional development system, the books and videos in our Launch Your Classroom! series.
Launch Your Classroom! began as a handbook to help prepare EPI’s teachers for the American classroom. Since then it has evolved to include a series of four books, a weekly video series, and an online professional development system with advice relevant for all teachers at every grade level. We cover the critical topics for classroom success, including classroom management, lesson planning, student engagement, and more!
