Empowering Active Teaching and Learning in Modern Classrooms

October 7, 2020

 

 

On this episode of ScreenBeam’s Collaborative Tech Talks, Dr. Judy Fields, CEO of Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence, and David Lopez, ScreenBeam Senior Manager, Strategic Alliances joined host Tyler Kern to outline the partnership between the two companies and how it will benefit K12 schools.

Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence, Fields said, has worked for almost two decades to empower educators through the company’s assessment process to achieve excellence in learning, leading and more.

It’s about identifying areas that can improve, but also about identifying strengths of schools and working to reinforce them.

Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence and ScreenBeam have partnered to pursue a similar goal of encouraging a future of education that is collaborative and active learning driven.

“Once we heard about what they do, how they operate in schools and who they’re able to talk to, we thought it would be a great opportunity to form this partnership,” Lopez said. “One of their [evaluation] components is focused around technology and technology in the classroom, and we feel like the stories that we tell aligned really well with what they’re trying to do.”

That’s because, like ScreenBeam, Blue Ribbon’s overall focus is giving teachers and leaders the tools they need to succeed and to enable active teaching and engagement, not pushing any one product.

The companies are set to present a webinar series that will explore these concepts through the lens of renowned professionals and educators.
