Hot Mess Teacher Express Podcast
Comedy:Comedy Interviews
Get ready to climb back aboard the "Hot Mess Teacher Express!" piloted by our fearless conductor Jess Smith! In today's episode, we're tackling the often bumpy, always interesting ride that is Professional Development.
Our first stop: incentives. We dive into the big question. Are there any real perks for teachers to sit through these never-ending sessions of jargon and slide shows? Is there a light at the end of this tunnel or should we brace ourselves for another incoming train? (Here's hoping for the former!)
We've compiled a potpourri of stories, anecdotes, and experiences from our comrades in arms – those teachers who've dared to dabble in the enigmatic world of professional development.
Naturally, we couldn't hold back our own perspective. Let's just say that when professional development starts to feel like a patronizing seminar, we wonder if they're confusing 'develop' with 'deride.'
Sure, the current state of professional development could use some... well, development. But guess what? Jess has a plan. A thought. A spark of optimism that she can't wait to share it with you.
Get ready for an episode that promises more twists and turns than the most puzzling professional development flowchart. Believe us, you don't want to miss this one!
Choo! Choo!
