2. What did we create and why is this important?
• Problem Statement – Fusing links between student data,
self assessment, and professional development
• An application that would link a teacher to videos,
examples, interviews, etc based on their student and self
assessment data as well as instructional coaches
suggestions
• Teachers need professional development to increase
student achievement

3. How did we validate the problem?
Research:
• Teachers, administrators, and Center for Professional Development workers were
interviewed and would like professional development to be more personalized to the
teacher
– based on standardized data (SLC), self assessment, and instructional coaching
recommendations
Key Findings:
• 7 million teachers would benefit from personalized differentiated professional
development
• This would save 60-90 hours per school year
– Time spent….
• taking district classes after school
• researching videos based on personal needs
• meeting with instructional coaches
