TCEA Helps You Sharpen Your Learning
If ever there was a time when educators needed to better hone their skills, it’s definitely now.

TCEA Helps You Innovate Teaching
The need to help students recover from a year of the pandemic is foremost on most educators’ minds. Whether it is in a specific subject area or the ability to connect in a face-to-face way with others or to embrace social emotional learning, this next year will be the time for innovation in the classroom and library and in how education works as a whole. And again, TCEA is here to help you.
- Listen to the weekly Ed Tech Club podcast to learn about innovative approaches to common problems. TCEA interviews experts from around the country who share their knowledge and insights with you.
- Take on a new instructional strategy or improve your skill with a specific tech tool by taking one of our online, self-paced courses. Starting at just $29, these courses are designed to quickly give you the additional professional learning you need to make real, relevant change in the classroom.
