Historically they relied on in-person professional development which resulted in low professional learning engagement and unique learner needs not being met. Add to this substitute teachers – which there is now an extreme shortage of – being essential to in-person training. This combined with the educators’ broad adoption of technology over the last two years led them to evaluate digital learning resources and solutions.
In March 2022, Redlands USD chose a personalized professional development program built on Alludo, Redlands Real-time Actionable Individualized Learning (RAIL).
See how your district can achieve this level of personalized professional development engagement, instruction, and impact!
Redlands USD noted that the microlearning training videos always accessible in the Alludo Content Catalog were more current than other professional development solutions in the educational technology space and featured sound instructional practices. They liked that Alludo was intuitive enough that novices could use it and that they had the ability to monitor and support learners individually and with ease for those that did need additional help. Most importantly, they valued the opportunity for learner choice Alludo offers educators and administrators at varying skill levels and interests.
Alludo’s professional learning platform helps Redlands USD provide personalized professional learning opportunities that boost educator effectiveness and create a community of professional growth among its teachers and staff.
This means everyone at Redlands USD can seek out relevant instruction and resources and impact school district initiatives and student outcomes!
We sat down with Scott and Jessica recently to find out why they are passionate about education, what led them to Alludo, and how Alludo is transforming professional learning across their district.
"Redlands USD is setting teacher professional development ablaze with Alludo!"
"I'm a mom. I live and breathe being involved in multiple communities. When a kid feels confident and happy, she or he becomes a very different contributor in those communities – and to our world. It’s not just about student achievement or student performance. A student doesn’t have to have the best grades to have an impact. If you can give students knowledge and skills, you can help them find their purpose. When students have purpose, you can see the impact of good they make."
"This starts with the teachers. If you give teachers a choice and a voice, and the opportunity to personalize an effective professional development pathway that speaks to their individual needs, you can light them up. And when they are lit up, they are able to teach in a very different way, and your kid comes home all lit up and excited."
"At Alludo, we do all of that, and it's pretty cool."
