78 | Serving Up the Same Old PD? Let’s Cook Up Something Better for Teachers

Description

We’re serving up some truth today—because not all professional development is created equal.


Some PD sessions leave you energized but unsure how to apply what you’ve learned. Others feel… well, like a microwaved meal: bland, rushed, and not really made for you. In this episode, we unpack the difference between traditional PD, teacher-centered PD, and the secret sauce that actually makes change stick: coaching.


If you’re craving support that feels personal, practical, and empowering—this one’s for you.
