Professional Learning

SETDA is excited to announce the publication of “Improving Professional Learning Systems to Better Support Today’s Educators: How Title II, Part A Offers a Model for State and Local Leadership.”

The strategy guide highlights how states and districts can leverage Title II-A and braided funding to build sustained, job-embedded professional learning systems that close the digital design divide. 

Drawing on national research from 24 states and 76 local education agencies, the report reveals persistent gaps in how professional learning supports technology integration and offers frameworks for aligning funding, policy, and practice. 

Thank you to Google.org for their generous support of this project.
