In this special midweek crossover episode with the Teach Better Podcast, Darrin sits down with Teach Better CEO and Co-founder Chad Ostrowski to dive deep into one of the most important leadership tasks schools face: planning professional development that actually moves the needle.

Darrin and Chad unpack the mistakes too many schools make—like treating PD as a day, not a movement—and offer a practical, strategic approach to make learning stick all year long. You'll hear about:

• How to build clarity into every phase of your PD plan
• The power of tiered professional development
• Why leaders must model differentiated support
• How to avoid turning your PD initiative into “the villain”
• Planning walkthroughs, building internal capacity, and protecting your time as a leader
• And how Teach Better + Road to Awesome are partnering to offer aligned leadership and instructional growth

Whether you’re a new principal or a veteran leader, this episode is packed with practical steps to help you develop PD that actually leads to instructional improvement.
