Professional Development

Professional Development

Professional-learning platforms help districts plan, deliver, document, and evaluate growth opportunities for educators and other employees.

They can connect individual goals and organizational priorities with workshops, coaching, communities of practice, online learning, credentials, and evidence of application—not simply attendance at isolated events.

What these systems support

  • Catalogs, registration, calendars, waitlists, attendance, and evaluations
  • Online learning, coaching, learning plans, portfolios, and collaboration
  • Credits, certificates, credentials, compliance, costs, and impact reporting

Note: SDLA does not endorse or resell any of the systems listed on this site.

https://educationadvanced.com/products/evaluation/
Overview
Evaluation is a tool built to increase the efficiency of the staff evaluation process to facilitate educator growth with data. With a collaborative, web-based performance portal that's tailored to meet each district's needs, school administrators can efficiently document every step of the staff evaluation process — including walk-throughs, self-evaluations, supporting evidence, reporting, and performance analytics.

In addition, school administrators can implement and host their own locally created or state-approved rubrics including Danielson, 5D+, Thoughtful Classroom, and McREL. This enables the development of an actionable plan based on data that can be used to improve individual performance and overall trends to measure success — all while giving staff a single portal to record, document, and gather evidence and observations throughout the evaluation process.
