School looking for a training plan for all staff

A strong fit is to build the staff development plan from a small set of Microsoft Learn education learning paths and courses, then use them as tiered pathways for different proficiency levels.

A practical structure is:

1. Baseline pathway for all staff
   Use Microsoft educator academy for staff who are new to Microsoft teaching and learning tools. It is described as the first step in a professional growth journey and includes foundations for:
   • Microsoft Teams for Education
   • OneNote for education
   • accessibility and inclusive learning
   • hybrid, remote, and blended learning
   • PowerPoint Recorder
2. Leadership and strategy pathway for school leaders and digital strategy teams
   Use Leadership in the modern workplace and Education Transformation Framework. These are aligned to school leadership and transformation planning, and they focus on collaborative school environments, leadership standards, and a holistic approach to education transformation.
3. Intermediate pathway for staff ready to go beyond basics
   Use Level up with Microsoft 365 and Windows. This is intended for people already up and running with Teams, OneNote, and Forms, and supports deeper use of:
   • Class Teams
   • Class Notebooks
   • staff collaboration in OneNote
   • school communication and collaboration in Teams
4. Role-based pathway for trainers, champions, or advanced staff
   Use Microsoft Educator Trainer academy for staff responsible for training others. It is designed for educator trainers and those responsible for training educators on technology integration, and includes Teams meetings, school communication and collaboration in Teams, Forms, Sway, and OneNote Staff Notebook.
5. Beginner leadership pathway
   For school leaders who need a simpler starting point, use Get started with Office 365 and Windows for leadership. It provides beginner-level guidance for education leaders using Office 365, Teams, and Windows, with modules including Forms, OneNote, inclusive classroom practices, and Windows 11/11 SE.

For a tiered professional development model, this maps well:

• Tier 1: All staff → Microsoft educator academy
• Tier 2: Staff building classroom and collaboration practice → Level up with Microsoft 365 and Windows
• Tier 3: Digital champions / internal trainers → Microsoft Educator Trainer academy
• Leadership strand → Leadership in the modern workplace + Education Transformation Framework + optionally Get started with Office 365 and Windows for leadership

For planning and tracking, Microsoft Learn also has support for creating and managing learning plans.

One important limitation from the available material: the context supports Teams, OneNote, Forms, Windows, Microsoft 365 Education, and leadership/transformation planning very well, but it does not provide a specific Learn path here for SharePoint, OneDrive, Office apps broadly, or Copilot proficiency mapping. Based on the supported material, the best recommendation is to start with the education-focused Microsoft Learn pathways above and use them as the core of the school’s baseline and tiered professional development plan.

• Microsoft educator academy
• Leadership in the modern workplace
• Education Transformation Framework
• Level up with Microsoft 365 and Windows
• Microsoft Educator Trainer academy
• Get started with Office 365 and Windows for leadership
• Learning Plan - Microsoft Q&A
