The Center is a pioneer in helping increase student achievement in the most challenging schools and educational systems. Besides being licensed to over 7,000 schools, PD 360 and the new Lead and Learn Channel, will now allow accessibility and online resources to a much larger and broader spectrum of schools and districts.
"The new Lead and Learn Channel on PD 360 combines cutting edge educational research from The Leadership and Learning Center with the world-class web-based delivery system of the School Improvement Network,” said Dr. Douglas B. Reeves, Chairman, The Leadership and Learning Center. “In a unique combination of "high tech and high touch," teachers and administrators not only receive the best available professional learning content, but also receive personalized support from The Center's Client Relations Team and live interactive Webinars. In challenging economic times, a critical question for school systems is how they can provide the best professional development to their staff in a way that saves money and time. The Lead and Learn Channel and PD 360 is the answer.”
In addition, School Improvement Network will incorporate video segments featuring Dr. Douglas B. Reeves discussing the most relevant, current topics into PD 360, providing users with a new resource to help understand the latest research in school improvement. These segments cover a wide range of topics including equity, differentiation, classroom management, assessment, and many others.
“The Leadership and Learning Center represents one of the premier organizations driving real improvement in student achievement. The School Improvement Network is excited to work with Dr. Douglas B. Reeves and The Center to provide clients with an on-demand professional development platform to help them continue and drive forward the great work that they are doing all over the world,” said Chet Linton, CEO, School Improvement Network. “We are also excited to be able to integrate cutting edge video and printed content from The Center into PD 360, further expanding the comprehensive resources available in PD 360.”
