I like when PDs have ready to use practical resources and create an atmosphere that's comfortable, enjoyable and engaging.

The best PD experiences have direct relation to what I can bring back to my work the following day

I like PD sessions with speakers who use visuals/graphics and repeat important content with small phrases.

Engaging in Strategies

I like when facilitators engage us in the skill or strategy they are teaching. It is so helpful to work through an activity and see how it is done rather than just read about it.

Some of the best PD I've attended are more intensive than typical IDs, but their value/output offered to me and other teachers is extremely useful.

I like Pro Learning experiences that are job-embedded, inquiry-based, and sustained over time.
