PLPG-SPECIFIC CONSULTING
Rivet Education partners with state and local education agencies to deploy strategies that increase the number of educators with access to high-quality curriculum and professional learning.
State-Specific PLPGs
Supporting the implementation of HQIM in a state starts with identifying high-quality providers who support HQIM adoption and implementation. Recognizing that each state has a unique professional learning landscape and policies that may prohibit their use of the national PLPG, Rivet Education offers state-specific versions of the guide that reflect an SEA’s brand and an direct recruitment of local providers. A state-specific PLPG includes:
- custom branding of PLPG website based on your SEA style guide;
- recruitment of local providers and basic training on how to get into the guide; and
- a communications plan and other wrap-around services to promote the PLPG’s use with districts.
