TLS Educational Software Vendors Webinar!!

Technical Learning Solutions (TLS), a DOE educational software initiative is offering Webinars to show case participating vendors. The webinars will allow teachers to explore different educational software applications which are currently offered through the TLS program and will focus on ways that the software can help educators differentiate their instruction; provide academic intervention; and increase student performance.

Technical Learning Solution (TLS) is a new Department of Education initiative. The DOE has purchased instructional software up front and is now distributing it back to schools at discounted pricing (average discount of 40%).
