192. 6 NON-NEGOTIABLES FOR EFFECTIVE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR ELA TEACHERS

Brave New Teaching: A Podcast for High School and Middle School Teachers

How many times have you sat through a Professional Development Training and thought “This is not the best use of my time”? As an ELA teacher with a to-do list a mile long, there’s nothing worse than feeling like your time is wasted or you aren’t walking away from a PD session with strategies you can actually use to better your instruction.
That’s where I (Amanda) come in! In 2021 I stepped away from the classroom and have been working hard to fulfill my dream of being a professional development leader, specifically in the inquiry space for the secondary ELA community. I am on a mission to reshape PD to be personalized and impactful…and I think I’m doing a pretty great job so far!
In today’s episode, I am giving you a peek behind the curtain to show how I approach Professional Development sessions. I’ll review my six non-negotiables for phenomenal and effective PD that is anything but one-size-fits-all.
PD can be great and I want you to experience that! If you like what you hear, be sure to pass this episode along to your administrators and teacher leaders who are making decisions about hiring for PD. You can learn more about my PD offerings here.
