Professional Development Services

We provide professional development topics ranging from school development and implementing professional learning communities to coaching and ONGOING professional development.

You will find high quality professional development at PLS with a nationwide network of top-level instructors and consultants.

Educational Development

We've helped school boards draft new standards, elementary and high school campuses implement school improvement plans, teacher staff development, and teams of teachers design integrated thematic curricula.

For example:
• In New Jersey, we are currently working with the New Jersey State Board of Education on implementing professional development standards for all teachers.
• In Indiana, a PLS consultant worked with a school district to raise test scores. After only one year, test scores improved by 18%.
• In Kentucky, one of our consultants helped a school district write a Small Learning Community grant for staff training.
• In Florida, we worked with a consortium of school districts to secure a federal use earmark for reading training.

Through our investment in R&D related to teacher resources and tools, we have created an extensive library of instructional material that spans all content areas. We are able to map these resources to state level learning standards so that teachers can quickly find a wide variety of resources for their curricular area (lesson plans, assessment items, worksheets, web manipulatives, etc.).
