BrainPOP Professional Development

BrainPOP offers professional development designed to help educators maximise the impact of its animated educational platform across their classrooms and schools. Founded in 1999 by paediatrician Dr. Avraham Kadar, BrainPOP has grown from a creative approach to making complex topics accessible to children into one of the most widely used educational platforms in the world, now used in two-thirds of U.S. school districts. Acquired by KIRKBI (the investment group behind the LEGO brand) in 2022, BrainPOP covers science, social studies, English, mathematics, engineering and technology, health, and arts and music through engaging animated content. BrainPOP's professional development offerings include the Certified BrainPOP Educator (CBE) programme, which builds mastery of BrainPOP tools and features through a series of online courses proven to help educators deliver effective, meaningful learning experiences. Professional learning strengthens and elevates instructional best practices across the curriculum in flexible formats that fit educators' schedules, ranging from self-paced online modules to facilitated workshops and webinars. BrainPOP Educators, the platform's free professional learning hub, offers answer keys, graphic organizers, lesson plans, video tutorials, and collaborative spaces where educators can share activities and best practices. The platform extends beyond the core BrainPOP offering to include BrainPOP Jr. for grades K–3, BrainPOP ELL for English language learners, and GameUp, a library of educational games. This professional development is ideal for K–12 teachers across all subject areas looking to integrate engaging, standards-aligned multimedia content into their instruction.
