“Our district just participated in our first Learning A-Z professional development opportunity, focused on Raz-Plus. I was thoroughly impressed with not only the depth of knowledge of the presenter, but also with the way she focused on how to use the resource to support best teaching practices in the classroom. Her extensive knowledge in literacy instruction inspired our teachers to use Raz-Plus in a more focused and intentional way.”

“We have provided Reading A-Z for our teachers for many years, but it was not until we began our partnership with the Learning A-Z professional development team that our usage and impact on students really took off.”

Teachers return to their classrooms excited to use the books, interactive activities, and data reports to positively impact their instruction and their students.”

“Learning A-Z customized professional development has surpassed my expectations ... I appreciate the personal touch and the expertise to plan and deliver professional development that meets the needs of our teachers. Teachers are provided with new content in a way that is easy for them to integrate into their current classroom dynamics. Our teachers often walk away from the professional development with the confidence to implement the new teaching strategies the next day.”

“I have been most impressed with the professionalism and support provided to me as the district administrator, and to our teachers. The Learning A-Z professional development team continues to provide me with support to best use their program in the implementation of our district's goals. The online webinars are tailored to our district, school, grade level, and teacher needs. The on-site workshops are engaging, and the dynamic instructor has modified her presentation as needed to meet the immediate needs of the teachers.”

“We have been working with Learning A-Z for more than three years, and our experience with their professional development team has been sensational. They are so accommodating to our needs. When planning for our professional development events, our Professional Development Manager can promptly suggest topics to be presented based on her experience. Then together we customize the training to fit all of our teachers, from the brand new to the veterans.”
