First to Enable Job-Embedded Teacher Professional Learning Driven by Student Voice and Engagement Data
NEW YORK – Apr 21, 2023– Personalized professional learning firm LessonLoop, which helps upskill educators using real-time student voice and engagement data, announced its authorization as an approved New York State Education Department (NYSED) Sponsor of Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) professional learning activities. This important achievement designates LessonLoop as a professional learning provider to help New York State (NYS) teachers more effectively meet their certificate registration requirements of 100 hours of CTLE every five years without even leaving their classrooms.
“LessonLoop is thrilled to have met rigorous NYSED CTLE Sponsor standards, and even more excited to offer NYS teachers and educational leaders the first opportunity to earn job-embedded personalized professional learning driven by real-time student voice and engagement data,” stated LessonLoop CEO and Founder Nona Ullman. “We believe our program is the first to integrate real-time student feedback with expert teaching tips so NYS teachers can more fully engage their students and boost learning.”
The Research on Student Engagement
LessonLoop builds on research that shows learner engagement predicts academic outcomes (Rajabalee & Santally et. al., 2019). Student learning environment survey ratings have been demonstrated to highly correlate with student achievement to a greater degree than school principal ratings or teacher self-ratings (Hanover Research, 2013). MET Project research from 2012 shows students of educators with the most favorable student engagement scores (top 25th percentile based on survey results) learned the equivalent of 4.6 months more in math per school year than students of educators whose survey results were in the bottom 25th percentile. As a Research Partnership for Professional Learning (RPPL) affiliate, LessonLoop incorporates research into all aspects of our platform, including our learning science-aligned student survey and our instructional strategies.
