Accelerating learning for educators

Even the best educational technology doesn’t replace the judgement and expertise of an educator who knows the student best.

Renaissance Professional Learning aims to help educators use Renaissance’s innovative assessment, instruction, practice, and data to their greatest effect by developing teachers’ abilities to:

Analyze and interpret learning data
Deliver “just right” instruction and practice for every student
Make adjustments to maximize the impact on student learning

When teachers have the knowledge and tools to know what to teach, how to plan effective instruction, and whether it’s working, improvements to student outcomes, teacher efficacy, and school culture are the result.

Professional Learning facilitates continuous improvement

Renaissance Professional Learning increases teachers’ understanding of students’ learning so they can build capacity, gain insights to ensure equitable opportunity for growth, and make informed decisions throughout the instructional cycle.
