- Virtual Learning Platform (VLP)

The Virtual Learning Platform (VLP) is an online portal that provides access to free professional learning modules and supporting materials to all Missouri public schools and their teachers. The system is available to teachers and school administrators through DESE Application Sign-in (DAS) system and can be accessed at any time and used as a reference for users once the courses are complete. The professional development modules included in the VLP would be a great source of training for teachers to meet Career Ladder training requirements. Individuals must have their Districts enroll them for access to DESE WEB APPS prior to access to the learning modules.
Professional learning modules include the following topics:
- Collaborative Climate and Culture
- Effective Teaching and Learning, including Academic, Behavioral, and Science of Reading
- Data-based Decision Making
- Standards, Curriculum, and Assessment
The VLP may be used in a variety of ways, from totally self-directed use by individual teachers to highly directed and structured use for teams of educators. The VLP includes space for user collaboration, pre/post assessments, handouts, worksheets, and other training materials. A district or school may decide to learn and implement the content using an internal facilitator, or for schools desiring more support, RPDC staff is available to provide initial training and/or follow-up coaching and technical assistance activities through contracted services.
