EXPLORE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COLLECTIONS ON GALE eBOOKS

For many administrators, it’s a balancing act to provide continuing professional development that’s personalized, job embedded, tied to evaluations, and sustainable. This can make keeping up with distance learning and curriculum standards a real challenge—but it doesn’t have to be.

Take on the task brilliantly with Gale eBooks: Professional Learning. In addition to supporting the four pillars of PD, each partner publisher or themed collection brings together 10–50 cross-searchable titles featuring renowned authors from ASCD, Corwin Press, ISTE, Solution Tree, and more. They address topics such as virtual learning, differentiation, supporting all students, culturally responsive teaching, social and emotional learning, and high-quality literacy instruction.

This award-winning platform is designed to add new collections as they are released, which allows schools to stay current with important trends in education and offer titles that fit every growing need. Plus, schools can upgrade many of their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) collections by adding framework alignments to the Danielson Framework for Teaching or the Marzano Focused Teacher Evaluation Model.
