NEW ROCHELLE, NY, June 13, 2025 — Leading educational publisher Benchmark Education Company (BEC) is proud to announce that it is a certified provider in Rivet Education’s Professional Learning Partner Guide (PLPG). The PLPG is a vetted list of organizations that provide the best curriculum-based professional learning services in the country. Inclusion in the guide is considered an important and much-desired distinction among educational publishers.

Rivet Education, founded in 2019, provides tools and services to help education leaders maximize the potential of their high-quality instructional materials (HQIM). Rivet’s founders are the same team that led the implementation of nationally renowned HQIM programs through the Louisiana Department of Education. The PLPG currently features more than 50 organizations servicing over 80% of all HQIM nationwide, empowering school district decision-makers to quickly identify organizations who can support a variety of their curriculum implementation needs.

Benchmark Education’s inclusion in the PLPG came after a rigorous, three-step application process evaluating its content and/or HQIM expertise, professional learning and training materials, and ongoing processes to improve its services. “Passing the review process required for inclusion in the PLPG isn’t easy,” PLPG director Joslyn Richardson said. Any organization applying for inclusion must pass all three steps. Expert reviewers evaluate the applicant organization’s materials against the PLPG’s Application Rubric to assess if the applicant provides significant evidence of robust, HQIM-aligned professional learning services.

“We are pleased and honored to be included in Rivet’s Professional Learning Partner Guide,” Benchmark Education Co-President Sera Hoffman said. “Rivet’s certification recognizes our dedication to curriculum-based professional learning for educators and affirms our expertise in supporting teachers and school leaders with resources that truly do make a difference.”
