Project Summary

Support for Professional Learning focuses on developing tools and strategies for professional learning and addressing regional issues related to the implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act. Our development work aims to provide high-quality opportunities for professional development in key content areas, such as adolescent literacy, elementary mathematics, and early foreign language study, with a focus on creating effective technology-based environments to support professional learning.

As one theme of our work as the Northeast and Islands Regional Educational Laboratory (2000-2005), this work had several strands. Follow the links below for details.
