💡 Traditional one-off trainings can lack relevance, overwhelm with information, and offer little follow-up. Embedded professional development (PD), integrated into daily routines, addresses these issues by ensuring continuous, contextual, and collaborative learning. 🤔 Why Traditional Trainings Can Fall Short: ❓ Lack of Context: Not tailored to specific classroom challenges. ❓ Overload: Too much information to retain. ❓ Little Follow-Up: Initial enthusiasm fades quickly. 🔍 Benefits of Embedded PD: ✅ Contextual Application: Apply new strategies directly in classrooms. ✅ Continuous Learning: Ensures constant improvement. ✅ Collaborative Environment: Sharing best practices. ✅ Immediate Feedback: Real-time adjustments and improvements. ✅ Sustainable Improvement: Promotes lasting changes through gradual progress.
