PD that starts with you, stays with you. We know that the professional development you choose must be worth every hour—and every dollar— you spend on it. But determining how to meet the individual needs of your educators, while staying within your budget, has never been easy. Until now. Professional Learning Maps takes the guesswork out of PD by starting with your educators’ input. It’s their insights informing the process, so you can provide PD designed just for them. Better yet, it’s instructional learning your educators will want to take straight to the classroom.
“Teachers are bought in because they understand why we focus on these areas, and they had input into the process.” — Instructional coach, New Mexico
Input and insight that starts with you The key to Professional Learning Maps is a diagnostic tool that analyzes your current instructional practices. A confidential, reflective survey and personal, interactive map allows educators to consider where they are individually, while giving administrators a comprehensive picture of learning need patterns at the grade, school and district level. “It made me reflect in a deeper way than I had in a long time. That’s what’s so special—the maps are private; they allow me to reflect on my practice.” – Regional reading coach, New Mexico View of sample survey question and learning map
Content and coaching that’s just for you Professional Learning Maps’ unique software uses your educators’ survey responses to build a specific sequence of content—for each educator, grade, school and district. Proven PD lessons targeting the precise skills that educators are ready to learn are delivered through online, self-guided modules and in-person group sessions led by school leaders and expert Amplify coaches. “It made me feel more confident in one area but made me realize I needed to develop my skills in other areas.” – Regional reading coach, New Mexico View of focus area and sample content module
Experience and engagement that stays with you Because it’s PD that reflects your educators’ input about their needs, Professional Learning Maps provides a truly meaningful experience for everyone—including your students. It’s an approach that fosters a more open dialog about PD, so educators are inspired to take an active role in their professional growth and put new skills to use in their classrooms, right away. “This is the first time in 25 years of teaching that I walked away from PD excited to share my learning with my students.” – Classroom teacher, Utah
