About the PD Brain Trust

The PD Brain Trust is a collaborative professional learning community of individuals from organizations that have demonstrated leadership in all aspects of K-12 education.

Rethinking adult learning is essential to the redesign of learning for children. By engaging a diverse group of leading thinkers and designers, the PD Brain Trust is identifying new solutions to challenges within the current professional learning system to inspire new thinking about how to create demand for — and deliver — redesigned systems of support that can guarantee that all educators have access to effective professional learning.
