Defined Academy
Learning never ends. Defined Academy empowers educators to grow their practice through flexible, evidence-based professional learning — whenever and however they need it.
Professional Learning That Actually Sticks
Defined Academy is built around a simple principle: educators learn best when professional development mirrors what great learning looks like for students — inquiry-driven, practical, and connected to real outcomes. From self-paced asynchronous courses to live coaching cohorts, Academy gives educators the support they need to implement deeper learning with confidence.
Multiple Pathways to Grow Your Practice
Asynchronous Courses
Self-paced microlearning modules built around the Learn-Practice-Reflect framework. Each module is ~15 minutes — easy to fit into a busy schedule. Includes Getting Started, Future-Ready Skills, and Content Connections courses.
Micro-Credentials
Competency-based professional learning with digital badge recognition. Educators apply strategies directly to student learning — and earn credentials that document their growth.
Cohort Programs
Structured, multi-session cohorts including High Quality Project-Based Learning (HQPBL) and Deeper Learning Professional Learning Communities — designed for school-wide implementation.
Custom Training
Virtual, in-person, or hybrid sessions tailored to your district's goals — including half-day, full-day, coaching, and extended partnership options.
