SETDA, in partnership with ISTE+ASCD, Learning Forward, and FullScale, has developed Improving Professional Learning Systems to Better Support Today’s Educators: How Title II, Part A Offers a Model for State and Local Leadership, a new guide on strengthening state and local systems for edtech and AI professional learning, that was released at the SETDA Leadership Forum on November 5, 2025. In this edWeb podcast, listeners learn about the research behind the guide, key recommendations for leaders, and strategies for building sustainable systems that expand educator capacity.

This session emphasizes how Title II-A and braided funding can shift professional learning from compliance-driven training to educator-driven growth. By highlighting coaching models, PLC structures, and AI literacy building opportunities, the panelists show how systems can empower educators to set goals, lead peers, and personalize learning pathways. Listeners explore strategies that build capacity while ensuring professional learning is sustained and aligned to instructional vision.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 school leaders, district leaders, education technology leaders, and state education leaders.
