The Anatomy of a PRO Learning Pack

Earlier today, we introduced you to a new, personalized-learning subscription for art teachers, Art Ed PRO. You’ve read all about PRO’s unique format– the on-demand topics, the customizable pacing, and the ease to participate at any time, no matter where you are. Unlimited, personalized, and self-paced PD hours are about to be the new norm in art ed.

Now that you’ve been introduced to this comprehensive new PD subscription, you may be wondering what actually makes up an Art Ed PRO Learning Pack.

Here are the top 10 components you’ll find in an Art Ed PRO Learning Pack.

1. PRO Pack Title

No more trying to make connections to PD sessions that have nothing to do with your everyday teaching. Instead, find relevant, timely topics that align with your curriculum, assessment strategies, classroom management plan, and more. It’s PD that’s customized for your exact needs.

2. Video Tutorials

Each PRO Learning Pack is comprised of a series of exclusive videos showcasing expert licensed art teachers from around the country. You won’t find these videos anywhere else! Each facilitator brings years of experience, as well as tried and true examples, methods, and strategies from their own classroom experience.

3. Modules

PRO Learning Pack modules are organized by a series of progressive video tutorials carefully arranged to exhibit best practices in art ed. The number and length of the video tutorials will vary within each Learning Pack depending on the presented topic.

4. Free Preview

Every PRO Learning Pack contains a free video tutorial hand-selected for you to preview. Take a peek at all 30 free previews to get a taste of what each Learning Pack contains. Of course, once you become a subscriber, you’ll have full access to the entire PRO Library where three brand-new packs are added each month.
