2gnoMe Approach
UNIFY ALL PARTS OF THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN ONE PLACE
PUT LEARNERS AT THE CENTER
We know that giving teachers (and other adult learners) the support they need, when they need it, improves their professional practice and confidence, which leads to better student outcomes and creates lasting impact for families and communities.
OFFER HONEST REFLECTION
Everyone gets a rare opportunity to reflect about their professional practice aligned to a required framework or set of standards. Self-reflection and feedback are key to closing the gap in skills awareness and avoids wasting time on PD covering skills teachers have already mastered.
KNOWING YOURSELF IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM
--Aristotle
Your reflection combines self-perception, actual practice and observation from others, if any. This step sets proper expectations and builds skills awareness. It helps learners get really clear on their strengths and areas of need across competencies built into the framework.
THE RIGHT SUPPORT WHEN YOU NEED IT
In addition, the system unifies all parts of the PD experience, so that learners can choose from professional learning opportunities that match their skills level, interests and professional goals. Everything gets organized around a required framework, ensuring relevancy to learners and “just in time” delivery based on individual needs.
CONNECT ALL LEARNING AROUND EVERY LEARNER
Leadership and admin stakeholders can also add custom resources to create a holistic learning experiences that unifies all parts of the learning experience, no matter where they come from, for both in-person or remote learning. Connecting growth goals, learning communities, coaching and re-certification - all in one place and organized around what you actually need to improve your practice.
THE WHOLE IS GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS
You get a powerful, cloud-based learning portal, secured by the AWS infrastructure. Workspaces within the secure learning environment allow for sharing resources, collaborating with colleagues and providing evidence of learning and knowledge to prevent redundant PD and wasted time.
MEASURE RESULTS TO CREATE LASTING IMPACT
Over time, the system measures the impact of the PD learning on the professional practice. It helps identify which resources and parts of the PD experience are more effective. Admin stakeholders can visualize individual progress and measure the impact of the learning activity on job retention and student outcomes.
