CoLab for PD Providers — Collaborative infrastructure that closes the gap between your PD and implementation
For PD providers

Collaborative infrastructure that closes the gap between your awesome PD and implementation.

CoLab is the branded home for your professional learning, during the program and after. The space where peer communities form, evidence of impact surfaces in real time, and ongoing opportunities for connection keep compounding long after your sessions end.

Tried the decoding strategy from Tuesday's session with a small group that was stuck on CVCe words. It clicked. Sharing my adapted worksheet below 👇

The problem

Great PD fails in the silence that follows.

The educators who care keep learning after your program ends. They just do it in places you can't see, where it can't compound, where the next cohort can't benefit from what the last one figured out.

💬

The cohort goes quiet

Slack channels fade by week three. Questions move to hallways. No one else hears the answers, and the peer support that actually sustains practice never gets a home.

⏱️

Evidence arrives late

Year-end surveys tell you what participants said, not what they actually did. Renewal meetings run on anecdote and gut feel, not implementation data.

🔒

Knowledge stays trapped

The educator who cracks it in October can't reach the one struggling in March. Each new cohort starts over. Your program never gets to compound on itself.

The solution

The connective layer your PD has been missing.

Not a replacement for your content, your facilitators, or your coaching. The infrastructure that makes all of it stick, compound, and prove itself.

A place to talk & exchange

Your cohort has a branded home. Conversation, resource sharing, peer-to-peer support, all in one place during the program and after.

  • Branded private spaces
  • Unlimited educators
  • Resource library that compounds

Implementation, today

See who's applying what, which resources are being adapted, where participants are stuck. Real-time data, not year-end reports.

  • Live engagement data
  • Resource usage analytics
  • District-ready reports

Our team, when you want it

Educators and instructional coaches available for strategic planning, onboarding, or facilitator training. Optional, not required.

  • Strategic planning
  • Co-facilitation
  • Zero training needed
What you get to see

Implementation data, not just attendance.

Walk into your next district conversation with evidence of what actually changed, not a spreadsheet of who showed up.

Become a partner

📢

Evidence

A seat at the design table

Roadmap input, early access, real influence. We build CoLab with PD providers, not at them.

Real feedback from the PD leaders using CoLab today.

We used to run great sessions and lose the thread between them. Now we can finally show funders what's happening while it's happening.

First renewal I walked into with implementation data instead of survey scores. Completely different meeting. A partnership, not a pitch.

By session two, educators were answering each other's questions. Our facilitators got to actually teach instead of re-explaining basics.

FAQ

The honest answers.

Everything we get asked in first calls. If your question isn't here, we'll cover it on a call.

How is this different from Slack? +

Slack is chat. CoLab is purpose-built for professional learning: structured spaces, resource libraries that compound, implementation analytics. Slack tells you what was said. CoLab tells you what's being done with it.

Do we need training to use CoLab? +

No. It's built for K–12 educators and designed to be intuitive from day one. Our educators and coaches are available if you want support with rollout or onboarding, but that's a bonus, not a requirement.

How is pricing structured? +

No per-seat pricing. You pay by the number of branded spaces you run, and educators inside are unlimited. Growing your community never penalizes you.

Who owns the content and data? +

You do. Your brand, your community, your IP. CoLab is infrastructure underneath. If a partnership ever ends, you leave with your data and community intact.

How quickly can we go live? +

A branded space is ready in under 24 hours for trials. Most partners launch their next cohort on CoLab within 30 days of the first call.

What's the catch with the free trial? +

No catch. Two weeks inside the full product, no credit card, no commitment. If it's a fit, we talk partnership. If not, we part on good terms and you keep what you built.

How does partnership work? +

Partnership is a deeper working relationship beyond software. It includes featured promotion, matchmaking with partner districts, co-facilitation, strategic program design support, and our research on peer-network ROI. We take on a small number of partners each year so every one gets real attention.

Let's talk

Make your next cohort the one that doesn't disappear.

Twenty minutes. No deck, no pressure. Just a real conversation about your next cohort and whether this is the right fit.
