Our Professional Development

Here at Brave New Teaching, we are more than just a podcast. We know that sometimes teachers need more than a conversation in a podcast, they need actionable steps and examples to help them move their teaching from where it is to the next level. From our flagship course, Curriculum Rehab, to our seasonal ELA-specific festivals, we have professional development courses for teachers at every end of the budget and level of experience.

 

CURRICULUM REHAB

Whether you are stuck to a script or have a wide-open ocean, curriculum design can be tricky when navigating the world of inquiry-driven instruction. Our course is designed to help you create the course of your dreams.

 

SHAKESPEARE TEACHER FESTIVAL

In the spring of 2021, we hosted a five day festival for teachers focusing entirely on all things SHAKESPEARE! While the live event may have passed, access to all the trainings and courses are still available to all!

DOWN WITH THE READING QUIZ!

If you’re done playing “gotcha” games with your students and need some new inspiration for formative assessment, we have the Masterclass for you. Registration is free — we’ll send you a workbook, too!

 

BIG KIDS LOVE PICTURE BOOKS, TOO!

One of our favorite gateway lessons involves calling up our very large students “to the carpet” for some good old-fashioned story time. Unlock the potential of picture books at the secondary level as a secret engagement tool right here…
