Rivet Education Adds Eight New Providers to the Professional Learning Partner Guide
The Tool Now Features Professional Learning Providers who service 88% of Green-Rated Curricula on EdReports Across All 50 States
Rivet Education announces the addition of eight new professional learning providers to the national Professional Learning Partner Guide (PLPG), increasing the total number of providers featured in the guide to 45. Akin to EdReports’ reviews of high-quality instructional materials, the PLPG is a free list of organizations designed to provide district and state leaders the best curriculum-aligned professional learning services in the country.
“Rivet Education recognizes that finding vendors who meet the criteria for being able to deliver high-quality, curriculum-aligned professional learning is hard work. Our goal with the PLPG is to make it easier for teachers and leaders to find professional learning providers that can provide the support they need to implement a high-quality curriculum. A high-quality curriculum paired with aligned professional development is a critical component in increasing student achievement and reducing classroom inequities,” said Jennifer Wells, Professional Learning Partner Guide Director.
In addition to the eight new providers to the PLPG, four existing providers added to their curricula and services list.
| New Providers | Providers Adding a New Phase | Providers Adding a New Curriculum |
|---|---|---|
| CPM Educational Program | Wisconsin CESA 2 | ANet |
| Kids-First Education | Great Minds | Carnegie Learning |
| Fishtank Learning | The Math Learning Center | |
| North Mississippi Education Consortium | ||
| Open Up Resources | ||
| Mathematics Vision Project | ||
| Teaching Matters | ||
| Wade Institute for Science Education |
Rivet Education leverages its expertise in curriculum-aligned professional learning to conduct rigorous evaluations of all organizations featured in the PLPG. Through a three-step process, reviewers evaluate providers’ professional learning materials against a set of criteria to assess if an organization provides significant evidence of high-quality, curriculum-aligned professional learning services in one of four phases: adoption, launch, ongoing support for teachers, or ongoing support for leaders.
Organizations that are interested in being featured in the PLPG for the first time or adding new curricula and/or phases of support to their existing profiles can email info@riveteducation.org for additional information about submission requirements and deadlines.
