"The PD Book compiles everything the authors know about designing and facilitating professional development and have categorized that knowledge into eight habits (and eight chapters). The book will offer you habits and behaviors to emphasize the actions that you can take. Readers will also explore the beliefs and ways of being that are below the behaviors the authors encourage a reader to take, while focusing on the behaviors the authors would hope to see if they observed the reader delivering a PD session after reading this book. Readers will also discover how to make decisions when designing and delivering PD that not only navigate inequities, but that create equitable spaces. The book includes stories, insider tips and tricks, and a reflection activity at the end of each chapter"-- Provided by publisher.
