EAGAN, Minn. (PRWEB) April 10, 2019
Learners Edge and its sister company, Teaching Channel, are proud to announce a new partnership with Dr. Donna Elam and the Elam Leadership Institute (http://www.elamleadershipinstitute.com). Dr. Donna Elam is nationally recognized for her expertise in leadership development and diversity. In 2013, she founded the Elam Leadership Institute, a national network of experts focusing upon leadership development for educational institutions working with diverse student populations to positively impact achievement. Learners Edge/Teaching Channel provide online, accessible professional learning opportunities for hundreds of thousands of educators from across the country.
The new partnership will expand and facilitate access to Dr. Elam’s important work in underserved areas and will solidify her best practice, strategic solutions designed to enhance culturally competent leadership addressing issues around diversity and equity in teaching and learning. This expansion of Dr. Elam’s work will be done utilizing a free Learning Plan authored by Dr. Elam which will be immediately available to magnet schools that subscribe to the Teaching Channel Plus platform (http://www.teachingchannel.com) and later released for free to the general public in July. The Learning Plan is created utilizing the Teaching Channel’s Theory of Professional Learning which incorporates the key components; gather and focus, watch, read and analyze, translate and adapt, practice and gather evidence, analyze and see feedback. Teaching Channel also provides an online interactive video platform to further solidify learning.
“Learners Edge and Teaching Channel have long admired the work of the Elam Leadership Institute,” said Eric Cohen, CEO of Learners Edge, “We are thrilled to amplify Dr. Elam’s reach and easily share her important work with teachers across the country.” Cohen continues, “Our new partnership is designed to join the Elam Leadership Institute in achieving its mission of achieving equitable, academic, and socio-emotional outcomes in students in every part of the United States.”
