Research shows that districts typically underestimate how much they spend on professional development, sometimes by quite a lot.1
In one study a district reported spending
On professional development. . .
But after closer review...
was the actual spend.
Though districts usually include the cost of actual workshops or trainers when examining the cost of PD, it’s easy to overlook some of the biggest expenses:
Substitute teachers
Travel
Food
Accommodations
Teacher time
Conventional, onsite professional development is expensive — take a look at the cost below for just one teacher. Then multiply that across every educator in your district!
Compare that to online learning — with hours of content available anytime for a fraction of the cost. An online library would not only pay for itself, it would save you funds that could be put back into professional growth in other ways.
Cost of a One-Day Workshop
Cost of a Year With Frontline's Learning & Collaboration Resources
Professional growth programming is an ongoing learning cycle composed not only of the initial course or workshop that introduces a concept, but of the subsequent practice, feedback, observation and continued refinement toward mastery. If you could eliminate just one live workshop day for your teachers by providing online learning and collaboration resources, you could save hundreds of dollars per teacher, and you can redeploy that savings into the rest of the learning cycle for their professional growth.
With Frontline's Learning & Collaboration Resources, a part of Professional Growth, you can access on-demand learning resources and virtual groups that save the district money and support educators in growing in the way that meets their needs — and schedules.
Focus on competency, not seat time. Micro-credentials require teachers to demonstrate evidence to ensure skills can be applied.
Develop and spread great teaching by enabling educators to engage in discussions around exemplary instructional videos, share resources, give and receive feedback, and more in collaborative groups.
Enable educators to learn about topics that are relevant to them at a time that works for their busy schedules.
Easily keep track of employee professional learning and training. Our courses are SCORM-compliant, giving you confidence that courses have been completed.
