What makes _______ unique?

Professional development for educators is most often offered in a live workshop manner, taking the educator out of the classroom for extended periods of time.  It is often too time-consuming, irrelevant and not engaging. Our product puts an end to monotonous, boring, time consuming and irrelevant professional development.  The Leaderally Learning Platform provides an online space for educators to go to for professional development and job support needs.


The product engages teachers in meaningful, sustained and job-embedded professional development.  Not only do they earn required CEUs or PDPs, they learn practical skills that will impact student achievement.  School administrators love the platform because they are able to easily track and monitor that required training and the professional development hours their faculty needs.  They also have insight into educator interests and skill development allowing them to better plan and prioritize.

A description of the characteristics--how is it designed for user interface, user experience?

Users on our platform are asked an initial set of questions to determine their skill development needs and interests along with their schedule and availability.  A custom learning path is then created and learners are given prompts to access the online platform based on these requests.  User feedback is requested and incorporated often, course effectiveness is taken into account for course development.

What instructional design principles are at work here?  Our eLearning programs are designed to be informative, interactive and reflective.  We use knowledge based modules alongside scenario based interactions. 

 

Teacher reviews:

Thanks for helping me become a visionary instead of a reactionary! -Jeanne M, director — The Presbyterian Church Nursery School

 

I like how you have a boutique approach to professional development and can customize what we need to work on with our team. You get more bang for the buck than hiring a full time PD coordinator. - Gregory C. Superintendent, Antelope Valley Schools.

I really liked the level of engagement of the courses.  Also, the examples of letters for parent communication were great and such good reminders of how I could be communicating better. - Jenn. O, Classroom Teacher, The Presbyterian Church Nursery School
