Dear SPDGs,
LearningPort is an on-line free professional development library. It contains a variety of materials from national associations (e.g., National League of Cities), States (e.g., Pennsylvania) and technical assistance centers (e.g., IRIS, RTI Center) in a variety of formats including full training modules in video format, webinars, conference materials, etc. Many of these materials can be incorporated (e.g., a video streamed presentation by well known researchers could be included in a locally developed training package) into larger training packages being developed in States and Districts. The modules represent a substantial collection of available resources, that may assist you in your work. In addition, the IRIS Center has developed a Fidelity of Implementation training module as a companion piece. Below are the two links. Please note that the LearningPort is still being "tweaked". Please feel free to provide feedback on what you find, including any glitches. The LearningPort currently has about 400 modules. http://www.LearningPort.us http://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/fid/chalcycle.htm I look forward to hearing your feedback regarding these new tools. Best regards, Jennifer
