OUR STORY

It all began with the need
to learn differently.

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.
