What did we create and why is this important?

• Problem Statement – Fusing links between student data, self assessment, and professional development

• An application that would link a teacher to videos, examples, interviews, etc based on their student and self assessment data as well as instructional coaches suggestions

• Teachers need professional development to increase student achievement

How did we validate the problem?

Research:• Teachers, administrators, and Center for Professional Development workers were

interviewed and would like professional development to be more personalized to the teacher

– based on standardized data (SLC), self assessment, and instructional coaching recommendations

Key Findings:• 7 million teachers would benefit from personalized differentiated professional

development • This would save 60-90 hours per school year

– Time spent…. • taking district classes after school • researching videos based on personal needs • meeting with instructional coaches
