[#1]

PD Playlists in PowerSchool Professional Learning allow districts to group courses into structured learning paths that support specific outcomes. Playlists can include required and elective courses, target individuals or groups, provide participant status tracking, and support compliance, certification, and professional growth initiatives. 

Districts are continually balancing compliance requirements, professional growth, and meaningful learning experiences for educators. PD Playlists in PowerSchool Professional Learning are designed to simplify this work by organizing courses into intentional learning paths. When used strategically, PD Playlists help administrators guide participation, track progress, and align professional learning to district priorities. 

What is a PD Playlist? 

A PD Playlist is a collection of courses grouped together for a specific purpose or desired outcome. Playlists can include required and elective courses, be assigned to individuals or groups, and provide visibility into participant status through a management dashboard. Discussion boards and in‑platform notifications further support engagement and communication. 

What are common uses for PD Playlists? 

PD Playlists are used to support a wide range of professional learning needs.  Examples include new teacher induction, compliance courses, alternative certification programs, PLC learning paths, pedagogy‑focused learning paths, and certificate programs. These use cases allow districts to align learning experiences with specific goals while maintaining consistent tracking and oversight. 

How do educators and administrators access PD Playlists? 

PD Playlists are accessed directly within PowerSchool Professional Learning. Educators can find their assigned playlists in the My Professional Learning tab, while administrators manage playlists through the Manage tab. From there, administrators can create playlists, manage participants, send notifications, and monitor participant status.

What features help districts manage PD Playlists effectively?
