PD 360 Helps Student Scores

*
A new independent national study of 100 high-utilizing PD 360 schools shows dramatic and statistically significant improvement in student achievement in both math and reading. In this study only schools that reported a high use of PD 360 were analyzed. When comparing these schools to their collective district benchmark from the prior year, students showed 72% greater improvement in reading (p<.001) and an amazing 399% greater improvement in math (p<.001). This study confirms that when teachers receive high quality and timely professional instruction their students’ test scores will improve. The charts below visually depict this strong growth.
