What kinds of online professional development does Solution Tree offer?

Solution Tree’s professional development services focus on professional learning communities (PLCs) and response to intervention (RTI), as well as topics such as leadership and assessment that could be more generally applied.

Solution Tree’s main form of professional development involves sending education experts and authors into schools to evaluate and teach methodology specifically tailored to that school’s needs and culture. However, since this is not feasible for individuals looking to further their education and might not work for certain schools or districts, Solution Tree also offers two online professional development platforms: Global PD Teams and Avanti.

Global PD Teams is our one-stop digital learning resource designed to facilitate the work of teams. It’s a great solution for fostering continuous shared learning among teams at the school or district level. With just one building license, your team can access hundreds of videos, mini-courses, playlists, eBooks and our AllThingsPLC Magazine, and reproducibles and study guides. Choose from 8 essential competencies to create a team learning plan, utilizing all the resources available to you.

  1. PLC at Work
  2. RTI at Work
  3. Priority Schools in a PLC at Work
  4. Marzano Resources
  5. Assessment
  6. Wellness Solutions for Educators
  7. School Culture
  8. Curriculum

Avanti is teacher-focused online professional development created by teachers. It allows individual educators to build their own learning pathway from hundreds of videos curated around 5 topic areas crucial to student success.

  1. Engagement
  2. Build Relationships
  3. Direct Instruction
  4. Learning Goals
  5. Assessment
Highly customizable to fit educators’ busy schedules and professional growth needs, Avanti also offers a community space to self-reflect and connect with peers around the world.

Wired Events gives your schoolwide or districtwide staff an event experience without leaving home base. We offer pre-recorded sessions from some of our top associates and authors, and model agendas designed by a content specialist so that your team will get the most out of the one, two, or three days of learning. With Wired Events, you can expect the same top-notch quality as our live events without worrying about travel and extra expenses.
