High-quality professional development

Amplify’s professional development (PD) provides a variety of learning experiences over multiple years to incrementally develop and apply the knowledge and skills needed for effective and self-sustaining implementation. Professional development programming includes packages or sessions with a variety of on-site or virtual modalities that orient you to the full features of your Amplify program.

PD Library

All professional development (PD) content is being consolidated into the PD Library, a one-stop hub for all your self-paced PD needs. The PD Library icon is located in the Program & Apps menu. And if you’re using both ELAR and SLAR, we have new resources for you! On our PD Library, the Amplify ELAR+SLAR icon in the top bar will bring you to a page dedicated to planning and implementation support.
