Embracing the Learner in Every Educator

As an individual educator, you can start taking MiniPD courses or sign up for coaching via the MiniPD website.

If you would like to bring MiniPD to your school, please contact our Sales Team to get started!

MiniPD coaches are education practitioners with deep expertise and experience in particular areas. They use their knowledge and experience to guide you to areas where you need help the most.

All MiniPD coaches undergo a rigorous selection process and receive ongoing professional learning opportunities to help them develop their coaching skills, following the MiniPD coaching domains of Compassion, Mutuality and Resourcefulness.

Yes, our MiniPD coaches are educators, and like you, they are busy! They make at least 1-2 hours available per week for MiniPD coaching, and their availability calendar is presented to you when you click on the “Book” buttons on their profile. As a global coaching team, we offer sessions in a variety of timezones. If your ideal time is not available, please check back later, as our coaches update their availability regularly, or select other coaches with similar expertise.

Absolutely! Every school or organisation is a learning community – and for that learning community to prosper, everyone needs to participate. MiniPD aspires to give everyone working in education the opportunity to be a self-directed learner, with voice and choice, including school administrators and staff members. Our MiniPD Core Courses bundle, for example, includes courses on Designing Mindsets for Success, Middle Leadership, Building Board Capacity and Designing the Family Journey, etc., which benefits everyone working at a school.

With a school level subscription, everyone at your school has the same levels of access to MiniPD courses and content – as well as a set amount of coaching sessions, for the comparable price of purchasing a single course. Educators at the school can be assigned courses based on the school’s decisions, and/or choose multiple courses based on their own needs or interests. It alleviates the school leadership’s burden of having to source different PD for different members of the learning community.

Schools regularly organise PD events for educators, based on their strategic goals for the year. MiniPD is a great way to supplement these PD events, to allow educators to dig deeper into the concepts and practices introduced, and get personalised support while putting these concepts and practices into use in their classrooms.

MiniPD also provides a flexible way for educators to seek help and support on additional topics. Just like the students in our classrooms, there is no one size that fits all our needs! Educators come to MiniPD to get the personalised support they need to grow professionally.

Absolutely!  MiniPD is partnering with Kent State University, a R1 university in the United States, to grant graduate credits for completing MiniPD courses.  To receive graduate credits, the learner must complete a required number of MiniPD Core or MiniCourses, and submit the completed MiniPD Learning Logs for each course.  Details of the credit application process can be found here 

Please check with your license issuing authorities for details on the number of credits needed for your license renewal.
