Time for PD?

MiPLAN was designed to meet 80% of state PD requirements, yet teachers still struggled to participate due to lack of release time. It didn’t replace other PD, so they were juggling too much.

What’s worked (or not) in your district to make time for meaningful PD?

I would love to hear from teachers!
📉 Study found teacher beliefs improved with PL choice—motivation, readiness, relevance all up. But fidelity felt short: coaching & completion fell short.

💬 What’s driving the gap? Time, support, PL quality, or something else?

We’d love to hear your thoughts
