Race to the Top
It doesn't matter what you call it - the goal hasn't changed. How you reach it hasn't either.
While best practices are the the foundation for a solid PD program, identifying effective teaching methodology is only one of the challenges educational agencies face in striving for widespread student improvement.
Student achievement is a priority for everyone. If your organization is reviewing the status quo and faced with the challenges of a standardized, measurable approach to PD, Solutionwhere can help. We've been helping organizations like yours manage the PD process for many years and we welcome the opportunity to introduce you to our capabilities as your partner.
Our scalable PD Management tools will help you easily replicate best practices throughout your consortium with customizable PD programs built around unlimited combinations of activities and delivery strategies. This means that your core delivery strategies can always be a part of every PD program, regardless of activities added at the LEA level to accommodate more targeted needs.
Rolled out in stand-alone modules or as a fully integrated system, our PD management solutions can take what you and your LEAs are already doing - or want to do - and make everything faster, easier, more flexible, and more organized. You'll also get automatic feedback and access to detailed information wherever it's needed.
Recognizing that one size may not fit all at this level, we can modify any module to meet the specific requirements of your consortium. This means that the consortium gets exactly what it needs. Further, because our software is available now, there will never be a need to be concerned about limited IT resources or the politics of in-house development.
Solutionwhere Modules:
- Coursewhere™: Our PD
Catalog Management solution for online registrations, waitlist management, classes,
workshops, in-services, seminars, online courses, conference breakout sessions,
video conferencing, and other enrollment-based events, including custom data collection
and reporting.
- Wisdomwhere™: PD program management
including outside events and post-grad credit tracking, certification tracking and
management, unlimited structured activities like workshops. User-defined delivery
strategies like mentoring or classroom visits, all with instant oversight and a
built-in approval system. Easily monitors groups (new educators) or individuals
and allows modification at the LEA level as needed.
- Central PD Registry:
A consortium or statewide central registry where educators can securely view all
PD credits earned, take required surveys for each newly-completed PD course, print
personalized certificates-of-completion, and print official transcripts. It can
also feed state Certification or HR systems. Credits earned are fed automatically
from Coursewhere or uploaded via CSV file (non-Coursewhere) as courses are completed
at LEA.
- Central PD Approval System: LEA-submitted
courses, workshops, and conferences are approved and automatically posted in real
time to a consortium-wide PD course catalog. This links into Coursewhere for an
integral online registration process managed by the sponsor of the approved PD event.
