What actually happens on professional development days? And is all that time — and money — really worth it? 👀
In this episode of Chalk It Out, we’re breaking down professional learning vs. professional development and giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what teachers do when students aren’t in the building. With nearly $18 billion spent annually on teacher PD in the U.S., we ask the big questions:
➡️ Is this transforming teaching practice?
➡️ Is it helping students?
➡️ And what does a PD day actually look like for educators?
We walk through school-based PD days, district-led release days, and everything in between — from collaboration and data analysis to curriculum alignment and those small moments teachers actually look forward to (yes, including breakfast ☕🥐).
This episode is especially helpful for parents and caregivers who wonder why school is closed and what teachers are working on during these days. Plus, we share real-life examples of PD that actually worked and why meaningful professional learning matters for equity, alignment, and student achievement.
✨ Part 2 is coming next, where we’ll dive into what makes professional learning truly successful — so stay tuned!
We’d love to hear from you:
👉 What professional development has been helpful?
👉 What’s felt like a waste of time?
