Partnering with Professional Learning Partners

Providing teachers with HQIM is not enough to lead to a significant increase in student learning and teacher performance. Teachers and leaders need ongoing, curriculum-based professional learning (CBPL) in order to successfully use the HQIM. 

The Professional Learning Partner Guide (PLPG) is a free, easy-to-use tool that helps education leaders find certified professional learning partners with expertise in their curriculum. With just a few clicks, you can search by curriculum, service type, and location to discover partners whose skills align with your needs.

The Professional Learning Partner Playbook is a step-by-step guide to selecting and managing curriculum-based professional learning partners. This comprehensive, three-part resource empowers leaders to form effective partnerships that drive success for both teachers and students.

When done well, RFPs are an important lever that education leaders can use to provide more effective support for teachers and to improve student outcomes. Use the Request for Proposal Guide (RFP) to create high-qualityRFPs for curriculum-based professional learning, leading to a more qualified vendor pool, higher-quality bids, and stronger results for teachers and students.
