How we think about professional development
Real PD takes more than one session.
Our pathways run across the implementation year, so teachers learn something, use it, and come back with questions.
We start from what’s already happening.
Your teachers have already chosen Wayground. Training turns that choice into instructional impact you can measure.
Adoption is the real measure.
A teacher who sat through a session and a teacher who changed their practice after are two different results.
Choose a starting point
Pathways and workshops are grouped by the instructional practices your teachers are already using, customized to your subject areas, grade bands, and calendar.

Data & Reporting
Four hours of instruction with a Wayground facilitator in your buildings, arranged as one session or several depending on who you need to reach.
Virtual sessions across the year
Sessions scheduled through the implementation year rather than stacked into one week.
Train the trainer, with coaching after
An introductory workshop for your coaches and teacher leaders, then follow-up coaching as the rollout runs.
Included with a school or district plan
The Resource Hub, national webinars, and a Wayground 101 session for your staff.
Support that lives where your coaches already work
Your instructional technology coaches are usually a team of one. Find the Resource Hub in Wayground, so the person supporting three hundred teachers isn't building materials from scratch.
The Resource Hub includes short modules, ready-to-run session resources, best practices, and the step-by-step guides they need to answer questions right away.
Build a bench of certified teachers and coaches
Game Changer course
Teachers learn practical classroom strategies, join a community of certified educators worldwide, and get early access to new features.
How districts made the most of these
One district ran a contest instead of a mandate. The campus with the highest share of certified teachers won a staff breakfast, and certification turned into something schools competed for.
Another started with its instructional technology coaches. Once they were certified, they ran the teacher sessions themselves, on their own calendar.
How districts fund professional development
Professional development usually comes out of a different line than software. Title II-A supports PD, so it often stays available in a year when there's no room to expand licenses. Whether it applies to you depends on your state and on your own needs assessment. We can show you what other districts have used and write up the details for whoever has to justify the spend.
