Through AssessOnline, Teacher Universe is able to create a custom learning path for each individual teacher. Based on an initial assessment, the custom learning path recommends specific courses targeted to an individual teacher's needs. The courses then provide teachers with the practical knowledge and strategies for creating engaging and effective lesson plans that incorporate technology into the curriculum. Each course builds on the other, expanding the breadth and depth of a teacher's understanding and knowledge of technology. Each course includes AssessOnline, Online Portfolio, and Online LessonPlanner.

Teacher Universe knows that when it comes to providing services to teachers, one size does not fit all. Teacher Universe offers educators a choice in how they assess and use our products and services. Teacher Universe courses are offered in four different configurations to fit the needs of all educators: Instructor-led, Web-based, Bridge (combination of Instructor-led and Web-based) and Train-the-Trainer.

Teacher Universe employs the most powerful and flexible resources to elevate the teaching profession. Contact us to bring the power of Teacher Universe to your educators today.
