In the second part of our two part series highlighting Math PD Pitfalls To Avoid, Jon & Kyle dig deeper into the weeds we often find ourselves in when trying to plan and deliver effective mathematics professional learning. 

In the final part of this series, we’ll unpack why professional development one-offs won’t cut it and how we can overcome a PD Paradox that can hinder our opportunity to grow as an educational community. 

You’ll Learn: 

• Why math professional development one-offs won’t cut it….or will they? 
• Where do you place yourself on the hierarchy of math professional development learning?
• How to reframe your math professional development messages so that every teacher feels like they have received the learning they want and need; and,
