Who is Radical Learners for?

With so many choices for professional development, it can be difficult to know which options fit your need best. Factors such as learning style, agenda topics, and pricing often play key roles in helping learners decide who to partner with. Radical Learners was created to offer educators affordable and accessible PD built around quality and timely content. Specifically, it was developed to help the following areas:

School Districts

  • School districts adding to, or building up, their library of professional learning courses
  • Districts who need professional development for newer coaches and coaching programs

Educators

  • Individual educators who need PD for newer coaches and coaching programs
  • Educators who have partnered with an Instructional Coaching Group consultant and are looking for an affordable way to reinforce their professional learning
  • Educators who want to become more familiar with the role of instructional coach before diving into a bigger instructional coaching PD service

PLC Teams

  • Radical Learners is a great resource to incorporate into yearly PLC meetings

Educational administrators

  • Administrators who need to provide emergency certified instructors with a concise, simple, and powerful classroom teaching training at an affordable price point that is easily accessible
