Professional Learning for Effective Practice: Leveraging Title IIA is a free professional learning community that supports the effective implementation of the federal Title IIA program. The goal of the community is to highlight program implementation best practices, share examples of evidence-based professional learning opportunities and exemplary professional learning programs at the state and district levels.

State level Title IIA directors will support facilitated discussions and share resources to launch the group. Participation is open to all administrators and educators. Leaders that will gain the most from this community include state level Title IIA leaders, district level Title IIA leads, district and school instructional coaches, state, district and school professional learning coordinators, district and school administrators.
