It seemed like the minute hand on the clock was stuck. “When will this PD end so I can get back to lesson planning and grading student work?” I thought to myself in silent desperation. Then, I followed up with a pledge: “When I am a principal, I am not going to do this to my staff.”
For those who have been educators for any length of time, I’m sure this is a familiar scenario. The question is, why do we allow it to happen? It’s up to those of us in leadership positions to prevent this. We must commit to creating meaningful, purposeful professional learning experiences for our educators.
