A recent Gallup poll indicated that almost half of teachers are actively looking for a different job and no longer have the same level of enthusiasm for teaching as when they started. The resulting turnover costs schools an estimated $7.3 billion each year, not to mention the negative impact on student performance.
Advancement Courses helps teachers reignite their passion, better manage stress, connect with their fellow teachers, and feel supported in their continuing professional and personal growth-powering a healthy, grounded, and sustainable career in education.

Experts predict it may take months or even years to make up for the learning losses experienced during COVID-19. Teachers will need to know how to use targeted assessments and differentiated learning strategies to help all students perform at grade-level standards.
Our classroom-ready pedagogical techniques, classroom activities, and resources address both students’ academic growth and social–emotional learning. And because we believe that knowledge of special populations is integral to all subjects and grades, our courses also include focused strategies for working with underserved students, ELLs, G&T, and those with special needs.

Ten percent of all public school students in the United States are ESLs or ELLs with limited English proficiency. However, fewer than 1 percent of public school teachers have the appropriate training to help these students. Advancement Courses helps schools bridge this gap with our courses on teaching essential English language learning skills and integrating ELLs effectively into a general population classroom.

Bullying has become commonplace in our schools, and the prevalence of social media has only intensified its hostile and destructive consequences. Whether it takes the form of gossiping, teasing, excluding, intimidation, or physical violence, the devastating impact of bullying runs the gamut from mild psychological trauma to suicide and even homicide.
Advancement Courses shows teachers how to identify and properly intervene in bullying, understand behavioral causes, address incidents, and move your school toward a culture of confidence and kindness.

STEM occupations outearn other fields by 12-30% across all education levels, and have grown at three times the rate of non-STEM jobs. However, despite education's continual focus on STEM subjects, an astounding 78% of high school graduates don't reach the benchmark readiness standards for college courses in these areas.
Advancement Courses has a robust catalog of courses to help schools nurture an interest in STEM subjects and better prepare the next generation to meet the explosive growth in these fields.

Most states now measure college and career readiness as part of their accountability and improvement systems. Advancement Courses helps schools better support college- and career-readiness programs by facilitating access to high-quality materials and aligning curricula across grade levels. Our courses help teachers design and use projects, portfolios, and extended-performance tasks that are encouraged under ESSA and help students apply what they learn to real-world situations.

More than 7 million students missed 15 or more days of school in 2015-16. That's 16 percent of the student population-or about 1 in 6 students. Minority students, English language learners, and students with disabilities are even more likely to be chronically absent.
Advancement Courses helps schools reduce absenteeism by addressing underlying and contributing issues such as health concerns, disengagement, anxiety, fear of bullying, lack of transportation, and homelessness.
