Designed by educators for educators
Solid research and 30 years of helping teachers teach has taught us a thing or two. Most important is that educators learn best from other experienced faculty and administrators with classroom and leadership experience. APD instructors are former educators who completely understand classroom learning needs. You can expect APD instructors to have relevant experience and knowledge they will apply to enhance learning.
Tailored to meet your needs
Whether you’re planning faculty workshops, curriculum development institutes, or learning throughout the school year, we help you design a professional development program that ensures your faculty and staff get the most from their time and participation.
Meets professional development standards
APD aligns its offerings to the ISTE National Education Technology Standards and bases its design on guidelines for effective professional development published by the National Staff Development Council (NSDC), the largest nonprofit professional development association.
