The PD 360 Impact Assessment revealed statistically meaningful advantages favoring schools with PD 360 versus schools in their respective districts that did not use the learning tool. Schools whose teachers participated in PD 360 (n=422) significantly outperformed their respective Districts in student performance in both Reading and Mathematics. Moreover, performance data implies that the gains made by participating schools actually boosted the performance data for the entire districts in which they were nested by “pulling up the district averages.”

Statistically significant and resounding advantages were identified favoring schools with PD 360. The higher the quantified utilization, the greater the statistical advantage. High utilization led to performance advantages ranging from twice to 15 times the gains in proficiency rates versus district averages. Low utilization led to gains in proficiency rates from 10% to twice the district averages.
