Let’s be honest—most PL doesn’t stick. In this episode of The Principal School Podcast, Dr. Michael Meechin breaks down why so much professional learning feels like a waste of time—and what school leaders can do to change that. If your PL days are all slide decks and no substance, it’s time for a reset.

In this episode, we cover:
✅ Why traditional PL often fails to lead to lasting change
✅ How to design meaningful, relevant professional learning experiences
✅ The role of voice, choice, and practicality in adult learning
✅ New formats for PL that actually engage staff
✅ What leaders must do to embed professional growth into school culture

If you're ready to stop checking boxes and start building a culture of continuous learning, this episode will give you the strategies to do it right.

📢 Share this episode with another school leader who’s ready to rethink PL.
