Wall Street Journal best-selling author, speaker, professor and former school technology leader A.J. Juliani has emerged as one of top voices on technology, project-based learning and the responsible use of artificial intelligence in schools.
A.J. Juliani combines years of experience working with and in schools with the latest research on the growing use of artificial intelligence and large language models in K-12 schools to showcase the different ways educators and school leaders alike can use artificial intelligence to improve decision-making, create more engaging learning experiences and drive efficiencies, while balancing potential risks inherent in the technology.

Created by RocketPD, LaunchPad is an exclusive on-demand video library of expert-led “mini-courses,” taught by nationally recognized educators and best-selling authors on topics of strategic importance to the nation’s K-12 schools. Topics include: family engagement, school culture, teacher evaluation, blended learning, staff retention and adult well-being, school communication, transformational leadership, how to close learning gaps with a focus on reading, blended learning, artificial intelligence and more, with new content coming soon!
Featuring annual subscription options for individual educators and full school site and district-based teams, LaunchPad provides immediate password-protected and on-demand access to a virtual library of on-demand professional learnings. Each LaunchPad mini-course features three key lessons with practical outcomes. Plus, a downloadable course workbook to help you and/or your school team(s) practice and implement key concepts. Personalized certificates of completion with seat-time designations are available upon completion of each course. Learn from anywhere with our mobile app for iOS and Android. Every RocketPD LaunchPad subscriber also receives priority access to RocketPD’s lineup of expert-led live-virtual learning cohorts, held each spring and fall, as a way to dive deeper on the topics they care about and led by educators and leaders who they respect and trust.
Two reasons: (1) With LaunchPad, you and/your school team(s) get access to a library of expert-led video-based professional development from nationally recognized experts and leaders in the field. Our blended approach ensures that every member of the RocketPD community not only has the opportunity to learn alongside the best names in K-12 education on the topics that matter to them, but that they have adequate time to reflect on that content and think about how to apply critical concepts into their everyday practice.
(2) Because our LaunchPad courses have a relatively small footprint — just 60 minutes in length, in most cases — you and your team(s) can engage with the content without taking a lot of time out of their already busy schedules. LaunchPad represents an ideal way for school leaders to vet the quality of their professional development content before making a larger investment in one particular thought leader or professional learning program or discipline. Find out what works for your team, then decide how to allocate finite time and resources to the topics they care about and require more support with. It’s a win-win.
RocketPD LaunchPad was designed to give educators on-demand access to a range of strategically important topics, without adding more work to their already crowded plates. The goal was to build a resource that provides immediate practical value, while being easily accessible to individuals and/or school teams. Individual pricing starts at $195 per year. School site and/or district pricing starts at $1,295 per school per year for all employees with discounts for multiple schools.
LaunchPad currently features nine video-based “mini-courses,” with new courses and bonus content scheduled to be added to the platform each quarter. Subscribers receive access to all new and/or bonus content at no additional cost.
Your initial RocketPD subscription features immediate on-demand access to a curated selection of video-based “mini-courses” and accompanying downloadable course workbooks. Access to our live-virtual cohorts is not included with your initial subscription, but can be bundled for an additional cost. All platform subscribers receive priority access to RocketPD’s full slate of live-virtual spring and fall learning cohorts. Engage with the mini-courses in LaunchPad. If you like them, consider signing up for a spring or fall cohort to fully immerse yourself and/or your team in a topic of critical importance to your school community.

In this blog post, Dr. Catlin Tucker, a blended learning expert, discusses how schools can reimagine traditional education by centering students in their learning. Drawing from her experience, she advocates for instructional models that leverage technology to enhance collaboration, critical thinking, and engagement.
Supporting adult well-being in schools is no longer just a nice-to-have — it’s essential. As stress levels rise among students, the adults in our schools, particularly those on the front lines, are struggling too. In fact, research shows that teachers are nearly twice as likely to suffer from job-related stress compared to other industries. This ongoing pressure can lead to burnout, anxiety, and depression, yet only 2% of schools offer comprehensive mental health and wellness support for staff.
Family engagement is a proven catalyst for student success, but what about families who seem disengaged? According to Dr. Steve Constantino, a former school leader and expert on family engagement, the key lies in changing our approach.
