Educator Experiences
ELN is a tremendous resource for me as a principal. I get a timely response from questions or concerns I express about ELN and feel that I am able to utilize it for myself and my staff. This year I have assigned videos for staff to watch, discuss in small groups or with grade level partners, and respond with questions I’ve developed.

Ed Leaders Network provides immediate, quality professional development on current education topics by experts in the field. With current budget concerns, spending $200 on Ed Leaders Network, keeping professional development in-house, and providing professional development to all staff members just makes sense!

I think it’s great! The website is very easy to use and informative. Edleaders Network encompasses much more than just mandated webinars for school safety. I have used some of the Common Core webinars and am planning on using more this year.

We are pleased and excited to be connected with ELN. We continue to take advantage of the online courses that are available to all of our staff in the district.

The authoring tool is intuitive and extremely easy to use. The instructional video explaining its use was also helpful. I simply made my slides in Power Point & scripted each one in the “Notes” pane. All I had to do was click the Record button & read the screen. MUCH easier than rehearsing timings in Power Point and publishing an MP4 video to upload to YouTube, etc.! Excellent quality with surprising simplicity – a great tool for busy administrators!

The Ed Leaders Network videos have been a godsend for our small rural school. South Wilmington Grade School has just under 100 students in K-8, so one-size fits all Professional Development is not always beneficial for our small staff. Now our professional development dollars can be spent on sending teachers to workshops and conferences that target their specific grade levels and needs, while knowing that our mandated requirements are being meet in a meaningful way.
