For PD Providers
IRIS has developed many tools and materials specifically to assist professional development providers who deliver training services to educational professionals working in school settings. The purpose of these tools is to assist PD providers in their efforts to update the knowledge and skills about evidence-based practices of those working directly with children, particularly those with disabilities, and their families.
IRIS Professional Development Options
The IRIS Center offers two distinct professional development opportunities.
PD Certificates for Educators: Through December 2025, the IRIS Center will offer FREE certificates to verify module completion and effort toward PD hours. Practical, flexible, and built around trustworthy resources, our online IRIS PD Certificates are a terrific option for educators ready to take their professional development to the next level. More than 40 modules are currently available, and more are added all the time. Even better, IRIS Modules can be accessed anytime, anywhere, via any online-enabled tablet, phone, or computer.
School & District Platform: Our IRIS+ School & District Platform is a user-friendly and flexible online tool that can help school leaders to organize and track their teachers’ ongoing professional development activities. Districts can secure yearlong access to customized bundles consisting of any five of our most popular IRIS Modules. Bundles may be assigned to all teachers or different groups of teachers, depending on the schools’ needs.
