When leaders at Lincoln Middle School looked at their PD data, they saw a problem:

  • Fewer than 40% of teachers completed required modules
  • Staff felt PD was irrelevant and time-consuming
  • Leaders spent hours chasing down compliance

The Shift

They piloted IYKYK Education’s AI-powered platform. Within six weeks:

  • Completion rates rose from 40% to 95%
  • Teachers reported higher satisfaction with relevance and flexibility
  • Leaders saved 12+ hours/month in compliance tracking

What Teachers Said

“I loved being able to revisit the modules before my observation. It actually felt useful.”

“This was the first time PD felt connected to what I do daily.”

The Takeaway

With the right platform, schools can move from check-the-box compliance to authentic professional growth—fast.
