Agreement Makes The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Signature
Edition 4.0 Work Session Available to Pennsylvania Educators
SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 6, 2017--
FranklinCovey Education, a division of Franklin
Covey Co. (NYSE: FC), a global firm specializing in organizational
performance improvement, and Eduplanet21, a professional learning and
curriculum development company, announced today an agreement that allows
Eduplanet21 to build customized professional development training
modules using content from FranklinCovey’s The
7 Habits of Highly Effective People® Signature Edition 4.0 work
session.
The customized training modules will be made available to Pennsylvania
educators through the Pennsylvania
Association of Intermediate Units (PAIU), a non-profit organization
comprised of the Commonwealth’s 29 regional education service agencies
that provide instruction and operation services to 500 school districts,
120 charter schools and nearly 2,400 non-public schools.
“We are excited to announce this collaboration with Eduplanet21, to
bring one of FranklinCovey’s most renowned and engaging work sessions to
educators and administrators throughout Pennsylvania,” said Sean
Covey, FranklinCovey Education Practice Leader. “Educational leaders
across the globe have reaped the benefits of participating in and
implementing the content in the 7 Habits 4.0 work session. Now,
Pennsylvania educators will have access to that award-winning content,
designed specifically to increase their ability to become more effective
leaders. The work session will address their needs as teachers and
student role models and will be delivered to them in a flexible,
interactive way.”
Eduplanet21,
in partnership with PAIU, provides anytime, anywhere professional
learning opportunities to Pennsylvania educators and will utilize
elements of FranklinCovey’s 7 Habits® 4.0 work session to create
four specific “Learning Paths” geared toward Pennsylvania educators and
administrators. The customized training modules will be available for
the first time to educators through an online, on demand platform,
allowing for self-paced delivery as Pennsylvania educators work to
fulfill their professional development requirements.
“The powerful combination of Eduplanet21 and FranklinCovey will
streamline access to FranklinCovey’s leadership training for
Pennsylvania educators through Eduplanet21’s unique professional
learning platform,” said Jeff Colosimo, Eduplanet21 President and CEO.
“We are eager to put the 7 Habits 4.0 work session to use and
create engaging, actionable modules with practical applications that
Pennsylvania educators can immediately implement into their classrooms.
This new series of learning paths is a great addition to our robust
catalog of Act 48 approved content.”
Launched in 2014, following an extensive update, The 7 Habits of
Highly Effective People Signature Edition 4.0 work session is one of
FranklinCovey’s most impactful leadership training work sessions, using
a unique, compelling, inside-out approach to leadership development. The
principles taught in the work session are universal, timeless,
cross-cultural and have been widely accepted, as such. The work session
was specifically designed to not only help participants learn the 7
Habits, but to also use the processes and tools so they actually live
the 7 Habits on a daily basis, becoming more effective leaders.
“Our children deserve great schools, and great schools require great
leaders,” said Tom Gluck, PAIU Executive Director. “PAIU is proud to
work with FranklinCovey and Eduplanet21 to offer teachers and school
leaders a world-class leadership program through the convenience of an
online platform, and at a price that will create unprecedented access to
the 7 Habits 4.0 work sessions. This project is another great
example of Intermediate Units working to deliver education solutions for
students, schools and communities everywhere in the Commonwealth.”
In the summer of 2016, FranklinCovey received confirmation from the
Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) that the content in the 7
Habits 4.0 work session and in the Leader
in Me, a whole-school transformation process that teaches K-12
students leadership and life skills, had been approved as authorized Act
48 professional development curriculum. FranklinCovey will maintain
their authorized status until June of 2019.
Pennsylvania’s Act
48 requires state licensed educators to earn a certain amount of
professional development credits within a five-year period to maintain
their certification status. Those credits can be earned through a number
of avenues, including continued collegiate study, completion of PDE
professional education courses, 180 hours of continuing professional
education programs through a PDE approved provider, or any combination
of the above.
