CHANDLER, AZ — StrongMind today announced a new partnership with iLearn Collaborative. With this collaboration, StrongMind expands its services and supports for new and existing partners, providing more high-quality professional development opportunities through a trusted organization.
StrongMind believes that preparing teachers for excellence in instruction, communication, and relationships for both hybrid and virtual learning is fundamental for schools to thrive. Given the recent challenges and shifting learning models due to COVID19, many schools and districts need additional support in providing professional learning and development for their teachers and staff. In partnership with iLearn Collaborative, StrongMind empowers educators with a comprehensive understanding of hybrid and virtual learning environments and tailors solutions to the specific goals and challenges of each school and district served.
“This is the nation’s premier educator training team,” says Mary Gifford, StrongMind President. “We are excited to combine efforts to reach more educators as online and hybrid options become a mainstay of the education fabric.”
“This is a very exciting time for iLearn Collaborative!” says Judy Perez, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of iLearn Collaborative. “As our reach continues to expand, we are thrilled to begin a partnership with StrongMind. StrongMind’s mission, vision, and values are very much aligned with ours which makes it an ideal partner for ILC.”
With this innovative partnership, new and existing StrongMind partners will see several benefits, including increased services and support for administrators, teachers, and staff using StrongMind to provide virtual and hybrid learning solutions that are tailored to meet school or district goals and challenges. Schools seeking to recapture, re-engage, and retain students by offering flexible options can also ensure their teachers are adequately prepared through the comprehensive professional learning and development offered by StrongMind and this partnership.
