Professional Development That Actually Sticks
Customized workshops your teachers will actually talk about, long after the session ends. With 30+ years of serving NYC schools as an approved DOE vendor, we specialize in STEM, bilingual education, and culturally responsive pedagogy.
Professional Development Programs Your Teachers Will Actually Love
Let's be honest, we've all sat through professional development sessions that felt disconnected from real classroom life. That's not what we do.
At PD Leaders, our teams of experts design and deliver programs that align with your school’s goals; the kind that leaves educators feeling inspired, equipped, and excited to try something new on Monday morning.
Customized to your School
No two schools are alike, so why should their professional development programs be? We start by listening and learning about your specific needs, student demographics, and goals, then design the professional development programs that equip teachers with the right tools to help their students succeed.
30+ Years of Experience
PD Leaders’ team of experts includes the founder, Dr. Nancye Barthelemy, who spent over three decades working alongside the NYC teaching and learning communities in various capacities, including leadership, research, professional development, parent development, bilingual education, instructional design, elementary, secondary, and higher education. We know the energy, the challenges, and the joy of teaching in the five boroughs because we've lived it.
Culturally-Responsive Pedagogy Expertise
We specialize in working with schools serving diverse student populations, particularly those of Haitian, Caribbean, and African ancestry. Our programs build on and celebrate the cultural and linguistic strengths of students and their families to maximize engagement, because that's where the magic of optimal learning happens.
