PLACE:360

Pathways for Learning, Access, Connection & Engagement

Professional learning isn’t broken. But it’s incomplete. Too often, it lives in one-time workshops, static content, or isolated experiences. Educators leave inspired—but without the time, space, or structure to keep learning going.

PLACE:360 is designed to change that.

A New Model for Professional Learning

PLACE:360 is an emerging learning ecosystem from the Friday Institute. It builds on over a decade of research and engagement through our online learning LMS, PLACE, which connected more than 90,000 educators. It reimagines what professional learning can be when it is continuous, connected and designed for real practice.

This is not another platform.
It’s a shift from delivering content → to cultivating learning over time.

Interested in helping develop this learning ecosystem? We want to hear from you.

Why Now

Education is changing rapidly. New technologies, new expectations and new challenges require more than just access to information. They require:

  • Space to think and reflect
  • Opportunities to collaborate and experiment
  • Ongoing support to apply and refine practice

PLACE:360 is designed for this moment.

Join the Movement.

PLACE:360 is not something we are building for educators.
It is something we are building with them.
