Transforming K-12 Teacher PD

When we surveyed 1,000 educators, 91% said they wanted personalized learning opportunities—it was music to our ears. But then the needle scratched across the record.

Only 20% reported increased access. Moreover, 25% said they had decreasedor, in some cases, zero—access to PD offerings geared to their needs and interests.

That’s why we’re hosting this webinar. To help you improve the timeliness, flexibility and relevance of your PD offerings.

Join us to discuss best practices for personalizing teacher PD—and how to apply them—with four expert practitioners from D2L, The University of Florida Lastinger Center, Putnam Northern Westchester (PNW) BOCES (NY) and Jackson Public Schools (MS)
