Frontline Professional Growth has been praised by users for its ability to streamline communication and file sharing, eliminating the need for external programs or multiple sites. The platform is particularly beneficial for districts as it aids in tracking licensing points and professional development credits, simplifying the process of accessing forms and documents. Users find it convenient for managing absences, as they can easily keep track of their days out and remaining days. By centralizing requests and reducing the time spent on navigating multiple sites, this program solves organizational problems efficiently. While some reviewers mention that the program benefits evaluators more than evaluatees, providing them with opportunities for improvement and blanket evaluations for staff, overall, Frontline Professional Growth offers an extensive range of use cases that enhance productivity and efficiency in educational settings.

Managing Your Staff Professional Growth in the Digital Workspace
- Frontline includes a digital catalog, that you can use to enter all of your professional development workshops into, and track who is attending, print sign-in sheets, and tag professional hours.
- The digital routing of forms was a main goal of ours. Not too many applications can create custom routing procedures, and go from person to person as designated in the configuration of the form.
- The ability to take all of your commonly used forms and have they digital and available for teachers is useful.
- Teachers can track how many hours they have earned throughout the year (and years) in their digital portfolio.
- The configuration and startup of Frontline Professional Growth is time-consuming. I wish this was easier to get going.
- Creating forms is difficult and the form editor is hard to navigate and use. You cannot create a form yourself. That has to be created and entered into your system by Frontline, which takes more time, especially if it is an easy form you want to create.
- There needs to be a better way to save forms you are completing and being able to go right back to them at a later date. I have had teachers lose what they were doing when saving a draft and then have to start all over.
- Notifications on forms at individual levels only go out once a day, sometime around 2am. This should be instantaneous, notifying individuals as the form comes in.
