You can’t always double your staff, but you can double their effectiveness. Protect your valuable teacher capital now, by bringing real-time professional development to your staff. Our programs address all four essential areas of reform, by providing job-embedded, on-demand PD that: improves teacher effectiveness, develops 21st Century teaching skills of teachers, delivers research-based practices on school improvement, and brings real value to the idea of data in the hands of teachers.
The goal of every educator at every level is to improve student learning. Unlike many other professional development offerings, Pinnacle PD provides teachers support with coaching and mentoring in a way that builds capacity, all in the same platform, fully integrating into everyday activities.
Teachers and administrators are not only learning using the same environment in which teaching and learning take place, they are receiving real-time, on-demand support for the immediate challenges they face in improving student learning... for all students. They themselves are learning the skills needed to transform their classrooms and districts into effective educational enterprises for the digital age.
Each of our professional development programs incorporates what's been learned from 15 years of best practices, starting with online professional development funded by the National Science Foundation; integrating the research of Dr. Robert Marzano around standards-based learning and school reform; and extending to the National Education Technology Standards for Students, Teachers and Administrators from ISTE.
Each initiative includes year-long support through coaching, mentorship, and collaboration within a Professional Learning Community. Each school and district continues to build on a shared vision, language and process as each new teacher is mentored into this community.
