Feeling overwhelmed by back-to-school professional development? You’re not alone. In today’s episode, we’re tackling the pressure to overhaul everything after a single PD session—and why that’s not the answer.

Barb shares her journey from overwhelmed teacher to confident instructional leader and gives practical advice for simplifying your approach to new initiatives. You’ll learn:

• Why “doing it all” after PD is a recipe for burnout
• The power of picking just one or two takeaways
• How to align new strategies with your teaching philosophy
• Why small, sustainable changes stick best
• A mindset shift that helps you embrace progress over perfection

Plus, Barb introduces her Teacher’s Custom Habit System—a simple $7 tool to turn your PD takeaways into consistent classroom habits.

🎯 Remember: Mastery comes from repetition, not reinvention. Let’s start this school year strong, focused, and not overwhelmed.
