Create Student-Centered Classrooms with Personalized Professional Learning

We know that students don't all learn the same way or on the same day, so why do we expect educators to? Support both teachers and leaders with a professional learning program that's built from differentiated learning experiences throughout the school year to create meaningful changes for students in every classroom.

Layered Experiences to Support Continuous Learning

Creating district-wide change requires buy-in from all stakeholders, differentiated support for educators, and a clear plan to continuously build upon pedagogical knowledge and practice.

Layering distinct phases into your professional learning plan provides educators with continued support throughout the school year. Educators will engage in in-person, virtual, group, and individual learning experiences that are all designed to help them make the jump from theory to ongoing changes in practice.
Start Building Your PD Plan

Achieve Meaningful Outcomes With Research-Backed PD

Professional learning experiences should end with clear next steps for educators to take. Every BetterLesson learning experience is tied to a measurable outcome that gives educators actionable goals and a clear way to measure progress. Educators will work towards their chosen outcomes throughout the school year as they continually try new strategies, measure the results for students, and use that data to build the next stage of their plan.

The BL Lab is at the center of your professional learning program. When all your high-quality learning resources are centralized in one easy to access platform for educators, leaders, and administrators, you close the implementation gap and ensure that district-level innovation truly translates to changes in teacher practice and results for learners.

Educators access learning, engage with their coach, track progress toward their outcomes, and measure their confidence to enact those outcomes in the classroom. Administrators have a complete view of their professional learning programs and dashboards to examine learning progress across individual groups of educators.

Personalized PD to Support Student-Centered Special Education

In the 2019-2020 school year, the Watervliet City School District identified special education as an area of focus. Special education teachers had shared that general education professional development wasn't meeting their specific needs and did not feel actionable. The district partnered with BetterLesson to develop and implement personalized professional development for all special education teachers through a full year of 1:1, job-embedded, virtual Coaching with BetterLesson's expert educators.
