Pro-T is a cloud-based online professional development marketplace that allows teachers to access quality professional development material, build professional portfolios for certification / employment purposes, and join professional learning communities.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
FOR TEACHERS
Teachers join PRO-T for free, log-in and access the PRO-T platform.
|
On the PRO-T platform, teachers can customize their portfolio according to their preferences. Teachers have complete control over their privacy and data sharing settings, so their profile can only be viewed by those who are given permission.
|
From the PRO-T marketplace, teachers gain access to high-quality professional development material FOR FREE. They can choose material that suits personal interests, matches areas for improvement, or meets professional requirements.
|
If teachers want to gain certificates of completion, they can pay a certification fee that will allow them to display their achievements on their portfolio.
|
FOR ADMINISTRATORS
Administrators can browse the PRO-T marketplace for material that meets the professional development needs of the school or district.
|
From the PRO-T marketplace, administrators can purchase professional development material for teachers in their district for a fee based on the number of teachers using the material and the number of courses purchased.
|
Once material has been purchased, the material is distributed to the individual teachers' portfolios.
|
When the professional development material has been completed by the teacher, the administrator receives notification through the PRO-T platform. If the material has not been completed, the administrator can send reminders to the teacher that will be sent through e-mail.
