Professional Learning Typical means of professional development (PD) such as drive-by events, one-off workshops, or book studies, while having value, will not lead to impactful virtual learning at scale. There needs to be a shift from “PD” to professional learning that is ongoing, job-embedded, and research-aligned.

For the better part of my educational career, I always referred to any type of learning to assist me as a teacher or administrator as professional development (PD). Up until this point, professional development was always done to me as opposed to something that I wanted to be an active part of. Thus, my thinking changed.

Change is a process, not an event. In some cases, these will be hard to swallow, but from an accountability perspective you will need to dig deep and display what constitutes real leadership even if this is not modeled by the people in power above you. Change isn’t something that can just be willed on a person, people, or organization.
