About Us

Teaching Matters, Inc. was founded in 1994 to advance student achievement by training K-12 educators to use the power of technology to make learning more captivating and relevant.

In its early years, Teaching Matters was known for its skill-building training customized to meet the diverse needs of students, teachers and administrators.

Recently, as the technology skills of teachers and supervisors have grown, Teaching Matters has increasingly addressed key curriculum needs. As a result, we have reduced customized training and increased scalable programs in core subject areas. In essence, Teaching Matters has become less a "high-tech" company and more an "education organization."

@School Anytime was created to offer a convenient platform for educators to receive training from the office or home. @School Anytime does this by using virtual classrooms for teachers and principals to learn online about "education."
