The Learning Tree PDN is an online provider of graduate-level professional development courses.
Once upon a time, a group of passionate educators set out on a mission to revolutionize professional development in the education industry. Recognizing the ever-increasing demands placed on educators, they knew they had to offer a solution that was flexible, affordable, and effective. And thus, The Learning Tree Professional Development Network was born.
Today, we offer over 40 graduate-level courses entirely online, designed to advance educators' knowledge of the latest research and best practices in the field of education. Our courses are not just for earning credits, but to help improve student management and academic success. We offer a variety of options for participants to choose from, including graduate credits, Professional Development Points (PDP), or Continuing Education Units (CEU).
As a leader in online professional development for educators, The Learning Tree PDN partners with renowned universities like Southern New Hampshire University, Fitchburg State University, and Colorado State University Pueblo to offer graduate credits to our participants. Our commitment to advancing the knowledge and skills of educators has been recognized by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, who have approved us as a provider of professional development.
Since our inception, we have helped countless educators advance their professional practices and expertise in the field of education. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to planting the seeds of success in the hands of educators, one course at a time.
