Hāpara professional development for teachers
Hāpara is committed to teaching and learning first. We believe the best way to demonstrate this value is to work with educators to help them use Hāpara in ways that most benefit students and learning goals.
"I feel that this is the future of teaching and learning for our students; therefore, if your school has purchased Hāpara, each teacher should be required to become a Hāpara Champion! It was fun and informative and I love that I was able to meet people from all over the world."

Why professional development in K-12 is important
Whether your K-12 teachers are new or considered veteran educators, giving them consistent learning opportunities is essential. Professional development for teachers keeps them up-to-date on curriculum, pedagogy, guidelines and edtech tools. It should also provide teachers with the chance to learn from one another and collaborate, within their own department, school, district or global community.
Professional development should give teachers fresh perspectives, develop skills and build teachers’ confidence using new tools in the classroom. Students’ learning needs can change, and the right training equips educators with the knowledge and skills to meet those needs. Training not only helps your teachers, but it also helps your learners across grade levels and content areas.
Training that meets your school or district’s needs
Technology can make a big impact on teaching and learning if teachers know how to use it the right way in the classroom. We work with your K-12 school or district to find the best training fit for your educators.
Our goal is to design professional development for teachers that will make the greatest impact on usage and student outcomes across your school or district.
Our professional development for teachers includes:
Free, self-service training courses online that your teachers can access and complete at their own pace
A dedicated Engagement Manager that will work with you to identify areas for improvement in digital usage and engagement, as well as recommend training resources
The opportunity to become Hāpara certified with our series of free Hāpara Champion certification programs
Customized, onsite professional learning from one of our expert Hāpara Professional Learning Coordinators
Access to a global community of educators for networking, learning and sharing ideas!

“My favorite part about working with teachers is helping them identify the issues that are causing them the most frustration, then showing them how Hāpara can help them. It’s rewarding when they have that “lightbulb moment” and they realize Hāpara is much more than a monitoring tool!”
Beth Still
Engagement manager at Hāpara
“One of my favorite things is that I love working with schools and partnering with teachers to identify and explore ways to use Hāpara in order to design an active digital learning environment that meets the needs and interests of all learners.”
Amy Miller
Engagement manager at Hāpara
“I spend my days explaining how Hāpara enhances learning. My favorite part is when a new teacher sees how the Hāpara Instructional Suite makes differentiated learning easy. It’s that light bulb moment that every teacher craves!”
