Here are three ways you can set up your environment for live teacher training. Choose the one that works best for your school community:
Option 1: Large Group
All teachers in one room
This option helps create shared energy and allows you, as a school leader, to observe and co-facilitate alongside the LiveSchool presenter.
What you'll need:
A large screen or projector
Strong audio setup so everyone can hear clearly
A well-placed laptop so the presenter can engage with your team
Option 2: Teacher Pods
Teachers grouped by grade or subject area in classrooms
This setup encourages collaboration within teams. You can co-facilitate from your office or pop into each pod.
What you'll need:
A screen in each pod
One teacher in each pod to manage chat and audio
A laptop set up so the presenter can see and interact with the group
Option 3: Individual
Teachers join from their own device at school or home
This gives teachers flexibility and more direct engagement with the presenter. However, it limits team collaboration during the session.
What to plan for:
Ensure each teacher has a working device and internet access
Consider scheduling a follow-up to align on next steps as a team
Before the Training
Set your teachers up for success with access to LiveSchool:
Computer: Go to liveschoolapp.com
Apple: Download the LiveSchool for Educators app
Android: Add a LiveSchool bookmark to their home screen
We recommend sending login invites to your staff before the session so everyone is ready to go!
