Teachers Deserve It: Real Talk

Making PD Work with Your Contract (Not Against It)


Listen Later

Too many schools are wasting contract hours on PD that doesn’t actually support teachers. This episode flips that on its head.

Rae walks through the truth behind most professional development frustration—not the contract, but the confusion around how to use the time. Inspired by her viral Substack post, “How to Make Your PD Plan Work with Your Union Contract,” this episode is packed with real solutions.

Inside, you’ll learn:

  • What real PD should actually include (no fluff)

  • How to align your school’s goals with the hours you already have

  • Why the TDI model is designed to work with even the most complex union agreements

If you're a school leader, teacher, or union rep looking to build a system that respects time and builds real growth—this one’s for you.
