When it comes to education training, the main pathway to improvement is through professional development. Professional development (PD) is something that is typically "done" to educators. On the other hand, professional learning is something they actively WANT to engage in to grow.

Educators are stressed, worn-out, and constantly wondering when the pandemic will end. The fact remains that there was no professional learning to prepare for the reality that everyone is facing nor a plan for something like COVID19. Through it all, though, educators have risen to the occasion like never before.

During my ten years as a school leader I dreaded professional development days in my district. I am not sure any educator looks forward to these monotonous experiences (developed under the guise of learning!) The problem here was that the experience focused on hours of time on task, not on the learning itself.

However, the conversation never stopped, and I eventually decided to take a leap of faith to pursue a newfound passion in education.
