Quality staff is the most potent tool an after-school program can have to impact their students. Unfortunately, many after-school programs have staffing problems of inexperience, high turnover, and teacher burnout. There is a better way. When staff members are allowed to be students, they can learn the many different skills it takes to be an effective educator. That journey starts with the Teacher Toolbox.

The Teacher Toolbox is an online professional development system that can be used in a group setting or completed individually by staff members. Click HERE to view a course on Movement in the Classroom
