ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - June 16, 2015 - PRLog -- Leading online training and development group joins forces with award winning teacher observation and feedback platform to improve teacher professional development

ST. PETERSBURG FL & Tampa FL - June 16, 2015 EDTRAININGCENTER (http://www.edtrainingcenter.com), leading provider of online training and professional development to the K-12 industry has teamed up with observe4success (http://www.observe4success.com), an award winning classroom observation and walkthrough platform, to create a new kind of observation, feedback, and professional development program for administrators, coaches, mentors, and teachers.

Through this partnership, educators and administrators have the ability to customize their classroom observations and generate personalized PD recommendations in one, cloud-based, easy to use platform.  Observers are able to immediately recommend or assign a teacher appropriate professional development courses upon completing the observation.

"We couldn’t be happier about our partnership with EDTRAININGCENTER.  Their focus on truly personalizing the PD experience for educators fits so well with our mission to be the most flexible, customizable observation platform available. The ability to offer this solution to our customers is really exciting,” said observe4success Vice President, Abby Sterensis. “Moving forward, end-users will still have access to our easy to navigate UI, now with the option to access EDTRAININGCENTER’s extensive library of online, topic specific professional development courses.”

Founded in 2002, EDTRAININGCENTER is the nation’s leading provider of online training and professional development to the K-12 industry. The group uses backward curriculum design and best practices in online learning. They believe the trackable, flexible, and targeted learning modules are the best fit for an educator’s busy schedule. Their mission is to leverage technology to bring districts and their learners the most affordable, accessible, and relevant resources possible.

“Streamlining the process of administrators, coaches, mentors, and peers observing classroom behaviors, identifying areas in need of improvement, and having the ability to immediately recommend or assign high quality, appropriate professional development modules means less time spent figuring out the technology and more time spent learning and growing. Our combined solution is powerful, meaningful, and most importantly still affordable," stated Rachel Fisher, CEO at Ed Training Center.
