Planning professional learning – How many of us dreaded professional development (PD) days? The best way to change the paradigm here is to afford educators opportunities to use their voice and ideas to plan powerful learning experiences. Just as we want students to own their learning the same should apply to adults.

First and foremost, make the time to learn, grown, and get better as opposed to finding the time. There is nothing more important to an educator, outside of working with kids, than professional learning.
