What others said about this webinar:

Loved the explanation of how to effectively collaborate on learning within the team. Also enjoyed how honest they are about how it feels there's never enough time in the day!

In this webinar, the three experts talk about many ideas for facilitating teachers' professional learning, and I feel so lucky that I have the opportunity to listen and absorb those ideas!
— XUAN
It was exactly what I was hoping for. What resonated with me was having the expectation for everyone to be on the waka, but supporting them to learn in a way that is comfortable for them. Also encouraging strategic decisions and forward momentum. Great webinar.
