How do we design professional learning that leads to meaningful change in the classroom? Kim Mroczek, an Elementary Program Consultant with Rochester Community Schools and a member of the planning team for Oakland Schools' Job-Embedded Professional Learning (JEPL) Series, joins us to explore how adults learn best. From teacher choice and practical application to trust, collaboration, and classroom learning labs, we discuss how schools can create ongoing opportunities for educators to experiment, reflect, and learn together—with student learning at the center.

Hosts: Jay Haffner - Literacy Consultant, Katie Morrison - Mathematics Education Consultant, Dr. Steven Snead - Supervisor of Curriculum & Assessment.
