We are proud to form close partnerships with key education organizations. We work with state education departments to help extend their reach into districts and schools across their states. We work with university education departments to advance online and blended learning programs for the betterment of their students. And we work with foundations and education associations to enhance their effectiveness in serving educator constituencies by providing platforms, content, and strategies that expand opportunities for professional growth.

Projects

Future Ready PA Index

In 2018, The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) in collaboration with PLS 3rd Learning, launched the Future Ready PA Index, a database of information measuring student and school success. The online tool gives parents, teachers, and communities within Pennsylvania a better way to evaluate schools with a broader set of measurements that go beyond standardized test scores.
