Resources and Professional Development For Teachers

Teachers benefit from several new classroom resources and ongoing professional development opportunities that have sprung from the expanded STEM focus. Twice-a-week optional professional development sessions are offered for faculty, expanding their knowledge on everything from the latest Google apps to classroom best practices.

Heritage has also introduced teachers to BreakoutEDU kits, which they can check out for their classrooms. Each locked box contains a game based on age-appropriate, STEM-focused mysteries and problems. Students use creativity, critical thinking and communication skills to solve the puzzles and open the locks. The new Google Cardboard viewer and accompanying smartphone apps give teachers a fun and affordable way to bring students an educational virtual reality experience.
