Abstract: The article focuses on how school leaders can design meaningful, effective professional development (PD) by planning PD intentionally across all stages so that it supports teacher growth rather than feeling such as compliance or wasted time. Topics include collaborative planning and teacher voice in PD design, providing meaningful choice through relevant learning pathways, and strengthening PD impact through active facilitation, follow-up, and ongoing feedback.
