More than 700,000 educators across North America
already use PD 360 to access individualized support on
the most relevant topics, like differentiation, minority
student achievement, English language learners, classroom
instruction that works, leadership, assessment, and many
more. PD 360’s content is divided into hundreds of indexed
and searchable segments that make it easy for teachers,
administrators, aspiring leaders, coaches, mentors,
paraprofessionals, and professional learning communities

at www.pd360.com.
In November 2010, Mr. Feller introduced PD 360 to
teachers by showing video segments at every faculty
meeting. In January 2011, the administrators and teachers
were trained and the program was put into action in the
following areas:
WMS requires PLCs to use PD 360 as a learning tool. The
teachers select a video, watch it on their own, then meet
to discuss classroom implementation. Most groups chose
differentiatedinstructionastheirrsttopic.
In addition to using it in PLCs, PD 360 has been used to
support staff development days. The group would watch the
video together then spend time discussing and processing
it, using the guidebooks as a general guide but also pulling
in additional resources as were appropriate.

receive a minimum of four observations every year.

earn Continuing Education Units along with planned district

Professional Development Plans are built yearly with
each WMS teacher and Action Plans are put together as
needed for struggling teachers who demonstrate severe

WMS is promoting PD 360’s Learning 360 Framework
with its educators for development and increased studentachievement. This comprehensive, research-based
framework is strictly modeled on best practices for school
improvement and educator PD through teacher education.

to love and utilize it as evidenced by their high usage and
increased exchange of ideas. Good teacher response to
PD transforms to enthusiasm in the classroom that in turn
motivates students.

have the Internet. They can log on at home as well as at
work, which encourages teachers to take charge of learning
on their own time schedule. Educators have unlimited
access to view segments and programs as many times as
they wish.
The real classroom examples shown in PD 360 programs
have been most helpful to WMS teachers by demonstrating
how the practices are implemented.
PD 360 is proving to be a great conversation starter in
PLCs, staff meetings, teacher groups, and in-service
activities. Watching a program as a group or assigning it
ahead is a start to good dialogue.
