About Amplify PD

Amplify offers a wide range of professional development offerings designed to meet the unique needs of teachers and instructional leaders across different stages of learning. Whether you are implementing our programs for the first time or expanding instructional practices in year two and beyond, our goal is to support your professional growth.

Our PD packages are customized for your budget and timing and provide three distinct touch-points for teachers and leaders to engage in meaningful learning opportunities with our Amplify experts. This is crucial for successful implementations.

Note: Biliteracy sessions are also available to satisfy dual language requirements.

Partner with our team to select and personalize the professional development package options that best fit the needs of your teachers and leaders. To learn more about Amplify’s PD offerings, please visit amplify.com/pd.
