Participate :: About

In 2010 we created the Participate platform because we needed to better prepare a network of geographically dispersed teachers to teach. Face-to-face professional development wasn’t realistic. And, traditional online learning options didn’t meet the needs of our teachers to:

Connect & collaborate on best practices, challenges and new ideas
Learn & develop their skills through practice, refinement and reflection
Celebrate & certify their achievements through digital credentials

Other organizations were facing similar challenges with professional learning—so we created Participate to help people learn and work better–together.

Create bold
and meaningful solutions.

Bold in the way we design opportunities for collaboration and learning beyond a computer screen.

Grow from successes and failures.

Let's face it, failure isn't fun. But we wouldn't be where we are today if we didn't grow from our successes and failures.

Be kind.

We aim to lift everyone in our community to their highest potential. We seek out partners who embody this value and have kind and sustainable business practices.
