How do you overcome them? ashtondwilson https://padlet.com/ashtondwilson/kh6c4tjkp7564nwk/wish/3456000978 Some of the challenges faced in PD can include time constraints, disconnected from the classroom, one size fits all trainings, less collaborative, lacking opportunities for application, and buy-in from teachers. 


    To overcome these challenges, PD should be engaging, hands-on, sustainable, and relevant.
