Shownotes
Professional learning is a common part of education, but not all professional development leads to meaningful change in the classroom. In this episode, we take a closer look at what makes professional learning effective, relevant, and worth teachers’ time.
We explore the difference between simply attending a training and engaging in learning that actually changes practice. From relevance and collaboration to follow-up and opportunities for implementation, effective professional learning should empower educators rather than overwhelm them.
Quotables
- "Reflection is where ideas become more personal."
- "Learning doesn’t stick with people until they process it."
- "Every professional learning session needs at least one meaningful learning move."
