Rivet Education is a trusted source of reviews for major professional learning providers.

Robert Pondiscio covers the origin of Rivet Education and our quest to improve the professional learning marketplace through the launch of the the Professional Learning Partner Guide.

“…a great curriculum can’t teach itself. So the next step is to invest in steady, high-quality professional learning opportunities for teachers tied directly to the curriculum. Here, too, there is an organization available to vet providers: Rivet Education. And given the avalanche of federal cash coming to schools, there’s no excuse for them not to invest some serious resources into both the implementation of high-quality instructional materials and the improvement of teacher practice.”

Rivet Education unveiled an enhanced Professional Learning Partner Guide (PLPG), providing educators with a more user-friendly experience and better access to information about professional learning providers and their services. Akin to EdReports’ reviews of high-quality instructional materials, the PLPG is a list of organizations that provide the best curriculum-aligned professional learning services in the country. 

Rivet Education’s co-founders join Melissa and Lori for a podcast about the Professional Learning Partner Guide and how states and districts can support schools’ use of high-quality instructional materials.
