Professional Learning International

Professional Learning International (PLI) helps educators transform teaching and learning through Concept-Based Inquiry. We offer a range of practical, research-based professional development opportunities, including online courses, an exclusive Collaborative Membership, and an internationally recognized Trainer Certification Institute. Our programs equip teachers and school leaders with the tools and strategies to foster deep conceptual understanding, inquiry-driven learning, and critical thinking in classrooms around the world. Founded by leading international educator Rachel French and grounded in the work of Dr. Lynn Erickson and Dr. Lois Lanning, PLI is the trusted partner for schools and educators ready to elevate their practice. Professional Learning International was founded in 2014 by two international school teachers with a goal of making professional learning opportunities more affordable and accessible for international educators and schools.
