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
