What Teachers Say About Us
About Grow Professionally
Hi! I’m Tyler Youngers, the creator of Grow Professionally.
I’ve been teaching online courses over a variety of instructional technology tools and strategies for nearly 10 years. I have my master’s in educational technology and educational leadership and teach online courses for AEA Learning Online, ISEA Academy, and adjunct for Northwestern College.
I started Grow Professionally after seeing too many of my fellow teachers struggle to keep up with today’s constantly evolving classroom. Many saw technology as more busy work added to an already possible schedule. The truth is, today’s tools make it easier to engage with students, and they save a lot of time on class prep, grading, and more.
Best of all, they’re simple and fun to use. I’ve worked with countless teachers that are surprised by just how easy it is to leverage modern technology in the classroom. They just needed a little guidance. That’s what Grow Professionally is here for.
