SETDA is pleased to host this learning opportunity for education leaders looking to move the needle on personalized, digital learning. SETDA’s Professional Learning Dashboard provides a catalogue of digital learning resources gathered from state leaders across the nation. This database is free for anyone to access and provides snapshots of professional learning opportunities that support digital learning, personalized learning, quality instructional materials, and leadership.

edWebinar viewers will receive a guided tour of the resource and explore some highlights from entries just updated this fall. SETDA digital learning leaders from Nebraska and Illinois will also join us for a deeper dive into some of the resources and services they are supporting in their states.

Education leaders of all levels should tune in to learn from these exemplars. Entries in the dashboard provide a great opportunity to connect to work near you, as well as inspiration for programs to improve digital learning in your ecosystem.
