Besides these DESE supported programs, we also work with the EdPlus Learning Lab to customize trainings to meet the individual needs of your school. Don’t hesitate to give us a call and let us know what you need. Together we can create a program to help your teachers grow their impact so that we can maximize your students’ performance.

I am proud to be the director of the St. Louis RPDC and have made it my goal to create a Professional Learning Lab that all of our districts call when they think of high quality professional learning. We are here for you!

Our center now has two locations to better meet your needs: 
1460 Craig Road in Creve Coeur and our new campus at 4433 Woodson Road near the airport. We hope to be learning with you soon at one of our locations or at your school campus! Don’t hesitate to give me a call!

Let’s Grow our Impact together!
