Get the Newest Upgrade in Professional Development for Teachers
(PRWEB) August 01, 2013 -- School Improvement Network, the leader in educator effectiveness resources, today announced an upgrade to PD 360, the first on demand resource for professional development for teachers. Among other enhancements, the upgrade lets teachers accrue credit for videos watched, enables faster video streaming, and allows administrators to recommend specific videos as professional development for teachers to improve teaching practice and student achievement in their classroom.
“Providing meaningful and personalized professional development for teachers to continue honing their teaching skills is absolutely essential to helping them become as effective as possible, and moves them closer to helping every student become college or career ready,” said Chet Linton, CEO and president of School Improvement Network. “PD 360’s new enhancements bring the same research-proven professional development for teachers and administrators, but now with faster, simpler functionality and the ability to track credits as part of ongoing professional development or certification.”
PD 360 is the most widely used online solution for professional development for teachers. It offers a library of over 3,500 expert-produced training videos, powerful support tools and resources, and an online professional learning community of nearly one million educators.
Beginning August 2, the new PD 360 will include the following:
• New Catalog feature to manage videos and courses to be used as professional development for teachers and for ongoing credit
• Enhanced video player to stream videos faster than ever, making professional development for teachers truly on demand
• Time-saving Recommended videos tool to create an automatic video list of professional development for teachers based on their specific role, grade level, and subject area
• Simplified look and feel to give teachers and administrators quicker and easier access to PD 360’s powerful tools
