Making Math Moments That Matter

Fix Your PD Sessions: Swap Confusion for Clarity | Mathematics Coaching and Training Series


Listen Later

Have you ever been in a PD session where the goals were unclear, and the entire experience felt scattered? It’s a common issue that leaves participants frustrated and disengaged.

Clarity is the key to transforming professional development sessions into impactful learning experiences. Research by John Hattie shows that teacher clarity significantly affects learning outcomes, and the same principle applies to PD. When facilitators clearly articulate their objectives, participants are more engaged and able to apply what they learn.

Imagine facilitating a PD session where participants know exactly what they will walk away with, how it will solve their real classroom challenges, and why it matters. 

By using clear goals, transparent communication, and framing content around participants' needs, you can create sessions that inspire lasting, meaningful change.

Ready to fix your PD sessions? Listen in. Start by outlining clear objectives, connecting them to participants' needs, and guiding them through the process with transparency and purpose. Swap confusion for clarity, and watch your PD sessions transform into powerful learning experiences.
