About this episode

The episode discusses three effective practices for structuring professional development experiences for adults.

What often sets the best PD experiences apart are a few intentional choices in how that learning is designed. In this episode, I talk with Jenn White and Josh Kurzweil of Berkeley LTC about three simple but powerful practices they use when designing professional learning for adults: Pre-During-Post, Curated Q&A, and Poster Sessions. All of these strategies create more opportunities for participants to discuss, reflect on, and apply what they're learning, and they can make your next PD a lot better. ___________________________ Thanks to Alpaca and Notability for sponsoring the episode.
