Give More PD Support to Your Teachers through School Improvement Network

Midvale -- Free-Press-Release.com-- Jan 11, 2012 -- Professional development producer, School Improvement Network (SINET), is happy to announce the release this week of 15 new professional development for teachers.

“With over 1,800 teaching videos on our professional development platform, we still get excited every time we release new material,” says Chet Linton, CEO of SINET. “These newest additions to our library will compose a “How to Use PD 360” program, and will include an instructional video walking viewers through the uses of our Common Core tools.”

“Of course, ‘how to’ videos have been present in our library for many years now,” Linton explains, “but we are forever in the process of updating and refining our professional development tools. And while ‘how to’ videos might seem ancillary or even of minor significance in the light of our larger professional development library, to our clients, they make a world of difference. We pride ourselves in providing the very best customer support in our industry. We have people and resources on-call every day, available in an instant to members of our community.”

“In fact,” Linton continues, “we have an entire department dedicated exclusively to helping our clients maximize their experience with our products. Really, we do much more than just provide technical support or customer service: we actively seek out our customers and walk them through ways to get more out of our product. Imagine receiving regular phone calls from a motor company, walking you through ways to get better gas mileage, or more life out of your car. That’s the level of service we provide”

“And as far as I know,” concludes Linton “we’re the only professional development company that does that.”

About PD 360 • Practical, Scalable, Measurable
PD 360 is the multi-award winning, leading online, on-demand professional learning resource for schools and districts. With 1,800 videos on 117 topics from 120 experts, PD 360 has the largest online community of educators, with over 822,000 subscribers. The innovative PD 360 videos are unique and class-leading because of the quality of production, and each is research-based with classroom examples of best practices. The videos are also relatively short in nature (approximately 6-12 minutes in length) allowing educators access to “snack-able” content that is easy and accessible to view and implement.

Teachers, administrators, professional learning communities, coaches, mentors, instructional leaders, and paraprofessionals have available at their fingertips hundreds of indexed and searchable video segments that present real, best-practice classroom examples and feature respected education experts, such as Michael Fullan, Rick DuFour, Doug Reeves, Rick Stiggins, and many others. Educators can instantly find the help they need on nearly every topic, including differentiation, assessment, English language learners, leadership, and more. PD 360 can also be used to create a structured learning experience for an individual teacher, a PLC, or even an entire school. The dynamic platform bridges the gap between training and classroom implementation with job-embedded follow-up, tracking, and reflection tools. PD 360 gives educators access to an online community of teaching professionals that allows interaction and collaboration either within a district or across the United States and the world. PD 360 includes over 1,800 research-based video learning segments and is the most comprehensive web-based library of professional development resources available.
