About Teach Better:
The Teach Better Team has been built on the foundation of two key pillars; The Grid Method and The Teach Further Model. But the Teach Better mission has grown into so much more.
After years of partnering with districts to support implementations in Mastery and Personalized Learning, the network continued their reach to find new ways to support educators.
Blogs, Podcasts, Twitter Chats, Free Downloads, Board Meetings, Parent Training, and more, the Team moved from an exclusive Live PD Provider to supporting the entire ecosystem which exists inside a school building.
