Description
Schools, school systems, and state agencies across the country face unprecedented challenges because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now more than ever, students need the highest quality traditional and distance instruction to make up for lost learning during the transition to distance learning. Rivet Education works with state education agencies (SEAs) and local education agencies (LEAs) to provide educators with reliable information about the quality of professional learning providers. This project will develop and release a freely available Professional Learning Partner Guide (PLPG) to help SEAs and LEAs identify national and local professional learning partners to support the adoption and implementation of standards-aligned curriculum materials in their school systems. Through this grant, Rivet Education will: a) build an online platform; b) finalize the reviews and content for the online platform; c) launch the PLPG with an accompanying communications campaign; and d) solicit feedback from users and stakeholders to inform future enhancements.
