Complimentary for All-Inclusive Members

Exceptional PD facilitation extends past content delivery into creating conditions where adults feel seen, challenged, and excited to learn.

Instead of talking at participants, you'll learn to design experiences that honor their expertise, challenge assumptions, and inspire sustainable changes in practice.

"This PD has allowed me to 'refind' a part of myself I lost. It has been so incredible. This is my second time for this one—and I brought along 3 people with me... and I will continue to keep bringing anyone who works with adults. I am shifting my thinking from delivering PD to designing learning experiences that empower people to transform their educational spaces."

WENDY D.

"If you are looking to take your PD, team meetings, staff development meetings, and workshops to another level, this workshop is for you! [The PD Workshop] was empowering and thoughtfully designed. It validated my current work and allowed me to go deeper."

PRECIOUS W.

"I have facilitated professional development for over 15 years and this session focused me in a way others haven't before. I am able to be a more reflective facilitator because of what I learned here."

CHRISTINA O.

"[This workshop] was an extremely engaging and enriching opportunity. I added many tools to my facilitation toolbox and have a much deeper understanding of the importance of my role as a facilitator and how I show up and hold space for collective learning."

ELLEN Z.

"This training impacted the way I connect with my audience, plan, and facilitate PD. I was given time to connect with others, receive and give feedback, and time to practice what I was learning. There are many strategies I came away with for me to use. I would recommend this to anyone no matter how long you have been a facilitator because it gives everyone a new lens in designing successful PD."

ANN T.

"The impact of this workshop will allow me to be my authentic self when I present to my team and school. I can find an opening that will help engage learners while also allowing them to feel safe and confident in the environment."

AVIS C.

"As someone with extensive experience in facilitating adult learning and having benefitted from effective facilitation in my own workplace, I still found this session to be fresh, helpful, and informative. I gained new insights that I will immediately apply both with my team and in my work facilitating adult learning."

STACY L.
