Our personalized professional development webinar series continued today with a deep dive into school turnaround, hosted by Detroit Public Schools principal, coach, and turnaround specialist Pamela Askew.
Pamela detailed her own method for school turnaround, from goal-setting and non-negotiables through guaranteeing safety and instructional quality. This is a must-watch for all educators going through the turnaround process.
Pamela drove home the point that personalized PD is absolutely essential. Here are some of our favorite soundbytes:
- “If we don’t address teachers’ individual needs, it is impossible to turn a school around.”
- “We are instructional leaders; it is our job to make sure teachers have what they need.”
- “Personalized PD is a requirement for every staff member who interacts with students.”
- “My biggest pet peeve is giving up my time to attend PD that’s one-size-fits-all.”
