💪 PINE puts educators in charge of their own professional learning...
“What it looks like to put teachers in charge of their own PD” is a powerful reminder that educators want learning that feels relevant, purposeful, and aligned with their own growth goals, not just another sit-and-get session. This resonates deeply with what we’ve heard at PINE from educators across contexts: ✨ Choice matters. Teachers thrive when they can choose what they learn and how they engage with content, just like the students they serve. At PINE, our catalog of self-paced courses lets educators explore topics when it fits them, at the depth they need, and in ways that align with their roles and interests. PINE Education 🎯 Differentiation isn’t just for students. Just as we tailor instruction for diverse learners, PD should be differentiated for teachers, from novice to veteran, from classroom teachers to specialists and leaders. A one-size-fits-all model simply doesn’t reflect the complexity of practice we see every day. 🔥 Choice fuels motivation. When educators pick learning that speaks to their challenges or curiosities, engagement and application naturally follow. Agency in PD isn’t a luxury; it’s essential for sustained growth. 💬 Learning is social. Teachers learn best from each other. That’s why PINE offers discussion guides and tools designed to help educators process ideas collaboratively, reflect together, and deepen learning through conversation. We’re inspired by the growing recognition that teacher-driven professional learning is not only more respectful of educators’ expertise: it’s more effective. And the more we support choice, relevance, and collaboration in PD, the better positioned our schools will be to meet the needs of the diverse learners they serve.
