TESOL Trainers offers all types of professional development from SIOP and TESOL specific training sessions to workshops on integrating the four domains of language, vocabulary acquisition and much more?
Do you offer a professional development program on SIOP?
Yes, both our onsite and online SIOP programs are considered the best professional development programs in the world. During both the short and long term versions, teachers will acquire practical strategies and techniques that will have a profound impact on all students, especially the English Learners?
Do you design trainings according to our needs?
Yes, we tailor-make K-12 professional development according to the needs of the school districts that that hire TESOL Trainers.  Dr. Kongsvik and his team work together to make sure that the workshop you get is exactly what you need to set your teachers and their students up for success.
Do you train K-12 teachers on how to become better at engaging their students?
Yes, our workshops on student engagement can help teachers engage their students 90-100% of the time.  These are practical strategies that any teacher can master.  They aren’t gimmicks, just good teaching practices.
Do you offer K-12 professional development workshops on metacognition?
Yes, we do.  TESOL Trainers offers one of the most powerful PDs on metacognition for K-12 teachers that you can find.  Just like everything we do: the strategies are experiential, engaging, and empowering.
Do you provide anything other than professional development workshops?
Yes, we do.  We have a widely popular peer coaching program, iCOACH™.  It is so popular that it takes up about half of our training resources.  One of the reasons it is so sought after is that boosts implementation of PD content to over 90%. 
Do you give motivational speeches to K-12 audiences?
Yes, we have headline a number of speaking venues each year.  One of the most popular themes we are asked to discuss is the role that risk taking has in both teaching and learning.
Do you do any long-term, multi-year contracts with school districts?
Yes, most of our oldest clients have been with us for more than 5 years.  We work with them on an on-going, continuous basis.  In fact, some of our clients ask us to train all of their new teachers.  That way, they always start off facing in the right direction?
Does TESOL Trainers do any work with colleges and universities?
Dr. John Kongsvik has worked with many colleges and universities in the USA and abroad.  Helping university faculty understand how to make atomic changes in the design and delivery of their lessons to make content comprehensible has been an on-going theme of his career.
Do you provide onsite and online training?
Yes, TESOL Trainers provides K-12 teacher training workshops both onsite and online.  We also offer hybrid staff development sessions that meet part of time time onsite and part of time virtually.
Does TESOL Trainers provide certificates for those who attend their training sessions?
Yes, we provide all participants who successfully complete our training sessions with a certificate that states the type of training they attended and the length of the workshop in contact hours.
What is the education and experience background of the people who work for TESOL Trainers?
All trainers have PhDs in TESOL or related areas.  They are all considered experts in their fields.  All trainers have at least 10 years of training experience.  They have no equals.
Do you work with any schools outside of the USA?
Yes, we do.  We have clients in Asia, Africa, and South America.  In addition to working with them virtually, we also travel to these educational institutions and training their teachers.
