Our Impact

Wondering if Designed for Learning PD is Right for your School or District?

Sure, we can tell you all day that our PD is a great investment for your staff. We can confidently say that it will lead to classroom implementation, increased confidence, expanded skill sets, and ultimately deeper learning experiences for every student. But ultimately, it doesn’t matter what we think. It matters what our partners say. 

“Designed for Learning is an extremely engaging and flexible team that met our needs on all technology levels for our unique student population. 

From the beginning, we received extremely individualized attention and a training that was molded to help us embed G Workspace and its many tools within our program.

- Jon N. Oddo, Vice President/Principal
Northwest Village School, Wheeler Clinic

"The Designed for Learning training team was exactly what our staff needed as we made the switch to Google Workspace at our school! 

By providing various levels of training, the teachers were able to catch a vision for implementing the Google Workspace tools in their classrooms no matter how long they had been Google users!"

- Dr. Patrick Mulvehill, DMin
   Director of Technology
   Gwinnett County Public Schools

“OH MY GOSH! Designed for Learning PD has been AMAZING! I cannot thank you enough for the quality PD with actual tools we can implement the very next day. The feedback has been great.”

Hey there!

We're Molly & Lauren, the faces
behind Designed for Learning.

We believe that professional development should be fun, relevant and most importantly, lead to classroom implementation. 

Molly Bennett

Lauren Dennis

While many organizations are focused on measuring engagement, we are focused on the "how" of designing learning experiences—experiences that not only engage students in learning but also invigorates staff and gets teachers excited about teaching.

At Designed for Learning we do things a little differently. With us, your staff will experience Sandbox PD, which means they’ll go beyond the “what” and get hands-on practice with the “how” to confidently implement best practices, tools and strategies in their classroom or role.
