Wondering if Purposeful Practices is the right PD for your staff?
Empowered learning institute Reviews
Sure, we can tell you all day long that Purposeful Practices is an impactful PD that your staff will actually want to attend. We can confidently say that they will learn how to streamline daily processes, save time, enhance student learning, and be able to apply their learning in their classroom right away. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what think. It matters what our participants say.
"I truly enjoyed everything that I learned within this PD."
There are several free resources available for students that I was unaware of. Needless to say, I gained a lot of insight surrounding tips and strategies to differentiate teaching using technology.”
- Montrika, Teacher
“This PD reignited my "fire," or passion for education and reassured me that I am enough.
I love the research that suggests that personal connections through play can prime students' brains for learning. I will pass on the information to teachers in my school through modeling, co-planning, and PD that lessons should begin with some sort of "play.””
- Gretchen, Instructional Coach
“I loved the Tasks that they gave us to do. This gave me the opportunity to explore these applications and get ideas on how to use them in my classroom.”
- Anna, Teacher
"This was a fun and motivating PD that I will definitely reflect on to make my classroom a happier place. I loved the different strategies and techniques shared."
- Angela, Teacher
“This PD was extremely helpful & insightful. Something that was powerful to me was understanding that learning is the reflection of the doing. Along with that knowing how to be an empathic leader or teacher.”
- MIRIAM, TEACHER
“I'm better equipped to recognize my students' (and my own) emotions; and this will help me in deciding whether these emotions will aid in achieving my instructional goal or whether there are shifts needed.”
- Rolando, Teacher
“I thought this session was amazingly informative, encouraging, and fun, especially the signature game.”
- Michelle, Teacher
“This session was so fun! Even though I'm behind a screen, I felt seen!”
- Cara, Teacher
"My biggest takeaway is to focus on student wellbeing. "
By acknowledging a student's strength, that student will take ownership of that strength and explore it. The idea about the silent star stuck with me as being useful for a time to symbolize rest.”
- Rebecca, Teacher

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.

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.
