Staff Development Workshops

Comprehensive school-wide or individual staff development workshops are available to introduce new Media In Education (MIE) teachers to the benefits of using MIE in the classroom, or as refresher courses for veteran mie teachers to enhance current skills. All staff development workshops are free and can be personalized for specific grades, subject areas or learning needs. E-Edition Newspaper and SMARTNews workshops are also available. Principals or other authorized school administrators may request onsite staff development workshops by calling 843-937-5766 or emailing rscott@postandcourier.com. Staff development workshops are short (usually one hour), hands-on, and focused on providing teachers with practical tips, materials and ideas that empower them to use the newspaper to teach S.C. Educational Standards.
