In this episode, Sara and Carolyn dive into one of their favorite topics: designing professional learning that goes beyond the “sit and get.” They unpack what it takes to create intentional, engaging, and responsive learning experiences for educators - ones that not only spark mindset shifts but also support long-term changes in practice. Drawing from their years of experience and favorite conference takeaways, they share strategies for creating safe spaces, inviting vulnerability, and embedding implementation supports that make professional learning meaningful. Whether you’re facilitating professional learning for a district or presenting at a conference, this conversation will leave you reflecting on how to design with purpose, engage your audience, and keep the focus on real outcomes for students.Thanks for listening and, if you haven't already, please give us a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
