Surrounding Educators with a System of Support
At Collaborative Classroom, we know that how we teach matters as much as what we teach. Together our curricula and professional learning empower educators to take charge of their teaching and learning through a strategic system of support that includes:
- Professional Learning Built into the Curriculum
- Implementation Support via the Learning Portal
- In-Person and Virtual Professional Learning
- Ensuring Early Literacy Success with SEEDS of Learning: A Professional Learning Framework for Adults Serving Children Ages 3–5

Professional Learning Built into the Curriculum
Our programs are educative—they grow your learning as you teach. Educators learn, practice, and reflect on effective instructional practices while confidently supporting all readers and writers in their classroom.
Embedded professional learning strengthens educators’ ability to:
- Identify student point of need and differentiate instruction
- Make informed decisions about student progression
- Understand and support the unique needs of English learners
- Use facilitation techniques that encourage communication and collaboration
- Feel confident, prepared, and effective in their practice
Implementation Support via the Learning Portal
In addition to the embedded support in our curricula, each program comes with access to the Learning Portal, which contains just-in-time planning and implementation resources for teachers and leaders.
The Teacher Learning System
The Teacher Learning System (TLS) provides teachers with self-guided professional learning and program support. The TLS provides learning opportunities for new and experienced implementers.
The Professional Learning System for Leaders
The Professional Learning System (PLS) provides a roadmap for a systematic approach to professional learning and the resources that support both teachers and leaders in initial and ongoing learning.
Collaborative Leadership Community
Accessible via the Learning Portal, the Collaborative Leadership Community provides access to timely information related to implementation resources, onboarding tools, and data-driven professional learning support. The Collaborative Leadership Community is also a place to network with other implementation leaders. Learn More.
The Support Center
The Collaborative Classroom Support Center provides answers to your questions through a robust, searchable collection of program-specific content articles and Chat Agents available for expert help.
In-Person and Virtual Professional Learning
In addition to seasonal (beginning-of-year to end-of-year) professional learning webinars, we offer a variety of program-specific learning pathways that can be facilitated in-person, virtually, or led by lead teachers/coaches at your school or district.
Asynchronous 1:1 Online Coaching
Collaborative Coach is a personalized, video-based asynchronous coaching experience that provides one-on-one coaching for individual teachers, coaches, or leaders in a safe and supportive environment.
Optional college credit is available for Collaborative Coach participants through Northwest Nazarene University (NNU).
Professional Learning Packages
Year-Long and Summer-Specific
Professional learning packages are available to support Year 1 implementations and beyond.
Packages for individuals or teams, are available in-person or virtually, and offer year-long or summer-specific learning.
