Comprehensive online PD platform welcomes new members with free
and discounted memberships.
Research shows that first-year teachers are among the fastest to
exit the profession; some surveys report up to 30% of new teachers
quit within their first five years on the job, with many citing a
lack of professional development and support as a reason to move
on. To help provide new teachers with a strong start to the
2023-2024 school year, the Stride Professional Development Center
(SPDC) has announced it will provide first-time teachers with one
year of free access to its state-of-the-art eLearning platform, and
offer discounted access to returning educators.

A division of Stride, Inc. (NYSE: LRN), SPDC is designed with
educators in mind, offering access to an ever-growing library of
on-demand professional development content for any teacher, in any
school setting, to enhance their skills, promote student outcomes,
and expand their professional network.
"Entering the classroom for the first time is an unforgettable
moment for any new teacher," said Darren Reed, Senior Vice
President of SPDC and a thirty-year veteran K-12 educator. "We are
proud to support every teacher’s success from day one by providing
tools and resources that will help them make the greatest impact on
student learning this year and for years to come."
With an ever-growing library of high-quality courses, SPDC
empowers teachers to learn anytime, anywhere. SPDC covers a wide
range of topics, including instructional practices, diversity and
inclusion, leadership, project-based learning, school culture, and
student support. Backed by Stride’s more than two decades of
experience in education and training, SPDC’s content is expertly
designed and built by educators and curriculum designers who
understand the unique challenges and needs of their fellow
teachers.
While most professional development providers focus almost
entirely on in-person instruction, SPDC provides engaging and
interactive online content where teachers can unlock their full
potential and create positive change in their classrooms, schools,
and communities. SPDC's courses are available on-demand and
mobile-friendly, allowing teachers to learn on the go and at their
own pace.
Outside of a handful of in-service opportunities, many teachers
pay for their own professional development, including buying books,
taking courses, or attending workshops and conferences – even
taking personal or sick days for professional learning – putting
such career advancement tools out of reach for many. SPDC’s free
and subscription-based subscription options, as well as school and
district enterprise solutions, provide teachers with an opportunity
to acquire new knowledge and skills without breaking the bank or
crowding their already busy schedules.
First-year teachers can use code “TEACHERSWIN” to gain free
access to SPDC for one year. The offer is available now through
October 31. Additionally, returning teachers can receive 50% off
their year subscription now through September 30 using code
“BACK2SCHOOL”. To learn more about Stride Professional Development
