About the Professional Learning Platform
Editure’s PD PRO Professional Learning Platform is unique because it offers structure, resources, and customization for school-based professional development. PD PRO provides everything a learning community needs to successfully bridge the implementation gap between what teachers know and what they actually do in their classrooms, creating opportunities for meaningful collaboration and providing resources to enhance learning.
The key differentiators between Editure’s PD PRO and other online learning community sites or professional networking tools is its robust content designed specifically for collaborative teams and interactive adult learning. Editure provides a variety of core concepts on relevant topics, paced and structured to be used as an in-depth study of a particular topic over a year or more. Some of these concepts include:
- Building Professional Learning Communities
- Formative Assessment
- Essential Learning Strategies (based on the research of Marzano, Pickering and Pollock)
- Beginning Reading & Writing
- Adolescent Learning Strategies
- Comprehension
- Common Core State Standards
- and much more!
Each big idea is supported by topics that break the concept into smaller areas of focus. Within the topic areas PLCs or Collaborative Teams are able to dig deeper into instructional conversations based on:
- current research;
- reviewing models & demonstrations;
- refining skills & practicing them in the classroom; and finally
- assessing the impact of instructional practice.
The instructional conversations are further supported by a meeting planning guide, instructional conversation guide (with supporting hands-on activities), presentations, and a collection of student work samples and video models.
In addition to the high-quality teaching and learning content, PD PRO includes a variety of web 2.0 collaboration and networking tools to help educators continue the rich conversation and collaboration between their team meetings and even beyond their school or district boundaries. Some of these tools include the ability to: make colleague connections, create groups to address specific needs, post and comment on forum topics, share documents and access custom school or district information.
As with all of Editure’s products and services, PD PRO leverages the talents and abilities of school and district staff allowing them to tailor their virtual space to meet their unique needs.
The Editure PD PRO Professional Learning Platform helps schools reach beyond their goals and achieve teacher growth and student advancement.
