IRIS Professional Development: Affordable, Reliable, Trusted

It’s a question every school leader must answer: How can I provide the most effective, most affordable professional development for my teachers?

The answer is IRIS…

For sixteen years, the IRIS Center has been one of the nation’s most highly respected and trusted developers of resources covering the issues teachers care about:

Classroom behavior management
Universal design for learning
Cultural and linguistic diversity
Secondary transition
Autism spectrum disorder
Effective early childhood environments
And much, much more!

Headquartered at Vanderbilt University’s celebrated Peabody College and supported by the U.S. Department of Education, the IRIS Center now offers online research-validated professional development opportunities that won’t break your district budget. Through our customizable School- and District-Level Professional Development Dashboard, you will be able to add new teachers, monitor teacher PD progress, sort tracking results, and send reminder and update emails. Even better, teachers can access their assigned IRIS Modules anytime, anywhere, using any online-enabled tablet, phone, or computer. Teachers who complete a pretest, work through the module’s main content, and then finish with a post-test can then download or print a certificate to verify their effort toward their new PD. Thirty-one Modules are currently available, and more are added all the time.

Two pricing options are now available. For $199 per teacher, districts can secure yearlong access to every online IRIS Module available in the PD Hours Store. A second option—the price of which is individually determined—allows districts to select and assign specific Modules or groups of modules to accommodate their unique needs.
