At the Beaver Valley Intermediate Unit (BVIU), the Training and Consultation (TaC) Department supports educators through high-quality professional development tailored to meet the needs of today’s classrooms. Our services are designed to enhance instruction, build inclusive practices, and ensure every student receives the support they need to succeed.
One of our most requested areas is Classroom Management. Our consultants work with teachers and administrators to develop effective strategies for managing student behavior and creating positive learning environments, whether in large groups or through individualized support.
We also assist with IEP Writing and Monitoring, helping staff write compliant, student-centered Individualized Education Programs. Sessions can be provided for small groups or on a one-on-one basis.
Differentiated Instruction is another essential focus. We help teachers tailor lessons to meet the diverse needs of learners in both general and special education settings, ensuring equitable access to grade-level content.
Through the BrainSTEPS program, we offer training and technical assistance for supporting students recovering from brain injuries. This service helps schools implement necessary adjustments to promote student success.
Educators also benefit from LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling), a research-based training program that builds teacher expertise in literacy instruction across grade levels.
