    The Associate Director, Professional Development (PD) Strategy & Delivery is a leadership role within Amplify, reporting to the Regional Lead of Professional Development. This role is responsible for overseeing a regionalized team of Lead Professional Learning Specialists (Lead PLSs) and PD Strategists who specialize in Amplify's Literacy products (CKLA, ELA, Amplify Reading, mCLASS) for the South Central Region.
