When it comes to education training, the main pathway to improvement is through professional development. Professional development (PD) is something that is typically "done" to educators. On the other hand, professional learning is something they actively WANT to engage in to grow.

The fact is, educators have to sit in terrible professional development all the time. Either because there is a true lack of understanding of what goes into the needs of educators when it comes to their learning or like my example, it’s just plain boring. Just ask the teachers in Chicago Public Schools.

Thus, I reverted back to what I was comfortable with in terms of what I could control and perceived that educators wanted. It wasn’t until a presentation at a major conference where I got the kick in the butt that I desperately needed but wasn’t aware of until then. I thought I was doing a pretty good job as no one told me otherwise.

Educators have the “know-how” to be effective, but sometimes in the day-to-day shuffle the “show-how” gets lost. Many professional learning opportunities give teachers the chance to add to their bank of knowledge, but don’t encourage teachers to put what they know into action.
