Increased teacher professionalism is a key factor in improving the education system and furthering its achievements. The Branco Weiss Institute conducts in-service teacher training devoted to learning and thinking strategies that maintain educational processes oriented towards achieving defined goals and results.

The training is geared to the "infusion" of best-thinking and best-learning standards into classroom teaching, with resources allocated to individual tutoring and supervision of actual teacher implementation.

The contents of the in-service teacher workshops include: planning and evaluation of student learning with particular focus upon "understanding performances," principles of individualized teaching, learning and thinking strategies, and emotional intelligence in learning.
