“It would have taken us years to roll out all the PD that we did on Alludo.”

Yucaipa Calimesa Joint Unified School District (YCJUSD), made up of nearly 9,000+ students, moved away from traditional, synchronous learning methods of one-size-fits-all, in-person PD that pulled teachers away from time with students.

YCJUSD teachers wanted to learn, and they wanted to protect their time in the classroom. (To add to this, substitute teacher shortages made in-person, synchronous learning methods not an option.)

YCJUSD professional learning leadership made it a mission to deliver an asynchronous learning and blended learning experience and instruction based on the needs of their educators – including learning style, skill level, and interests. A colleague introduced them to Alludo online learning, and YCJUSD leadership prioritized professional learning for their educators – certificated and classified.

With Alludo they are able to offer all of their educators – even substitute teachers – asynchronous or blended learning that is relevant to each student learner. This remote learning can be taken when it’s most convenient for each learner; every learning activity comes in bite-sized chunks called microlearning activities. YCJUSD honors that each learner has different professional development needs and learning styles, and this applies not only to students but also to teacher and support staff learners. With Alludo, they can pinpoint interests and offer educators who want to keep learning the opportunity to do just that with online courses from the Alludo Content Catalog. With Alludo, YCJUSD can balance being supportive and having a clear direction on school district initiatives by delivering a combination of asynchronous digital learning, blended learning, and synchronous learning.
