Focus Area
Pave the way for your leaders to support collaborative professional learning practices throughout your district by providing executive training through strategic phases of implementation.

Together, we can support this change across your district.
Manage all your professional learning experiences in one place. Inside the BL Lab, teachers access courses and strategies, engage with their coach, and track progress toward goals.
Instructional leaders can assign self-directed courses for ongoing professional learning and activate PLCs with research-backed strategies and lesson plans to provide differentiated support throughout the year.
Administrators have a complete view of their professional learning programs and easy access to learning progress across multiple cohorts, all in one place.
