We’ve all sat through those boring professional development sessions that leave us uninspired, and maybe a little sleepy too! But what if we could make PD more engaging and exciting for teachers? That’s exactly what I’m talking about today with instructional coach Jessica Whittaker.

During the episode, Jessica highlights the types of PD topics teachers really enjoy and shares her behind-the-scenes planning process. She offers her favorite ideas to make PD fun and memorable for teachers. Jessica also tells us how teachers respond to and implement PD differently when she makes the experience extra special.
