School Districts Nationwide Will Have 24/7 Access to Casas’ Acclaimed Professional Learning Resources to Drive Educational Excellence
CHICAGO and FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Gale, part of Cengage Group and ConnectEDD Publishing, have partnered to bring the professional development (PD) resources of best-selling author, leadership coach, and K-12 professional learning expert, Jimmy Casas, to school districts nationwide via the Gale eBooks platform. This collaboration offers a unique collection of acclaimed professional learning resources that provides districts and educators with unlimited and simultaneous access to the digital content they need when they need it for PD growth and student success.
This collaboration allows school districts to offer professional development when and where educators need it.
This partnership makes Gale the only aggregator of professional learning eBooks to offer ConnectEDD’s PD resources, which were previously only available through individual purchases on Amazon.
“This collaboration will allow school districts to offer professional development when and where educators need it,” said Jimmy Casas, founder of ConnectEDD Publishing. “Large-group, in-person workshops can lead to major breakthroughs, but those breakthroughs only become ingrained in a teacher’s practice when they have the kind of ongoing, easy-to-access professional learning support that Gale eBooks offers. I’m thrilled to be working with Gale to help support teachers and school leaders in creating positive and impactful learning environments.”
ConnectEDD Publishing provides books and resources that offer practical information on a wide variety of teaching, learning and leadership topics. Starting in January 2025, 36 PD titles by Jimmy Casas from ConnectEDD Publishing will be available on the Gale eBooks platform. Popular titles will include:
