Summary
The PD cycle is a structured process designed to enhance educators' skills and knowledge through continuous learning and reflection. It begins with identifying specific needs or goals, followed by planning professional learning experiences. Educators then facilitate the professional learning opportunity and will continue to support their peers in the implementation of new tools and strategies. The cycle concludes with reflection on the professional learning experience, identify areas for improvement, and plan for the next cycle, ensuring ongoing professional growth.
