Review Quotes




"[The authors] weave a powerful analogy of high-quality professional learning as a refueling station for the brain. As educators, we all crave time for inspiration, growth, and reflection, and we know these cravings cannot be satisfied with 'one-size-fits-all PD' and 'sit-and-get. This book is the ultimate menu to support a transition to 'supercharged PD.' With concrete, evidence-based 'a la carte' options that would improve the design of professional learning immediately, the text also provides a vision for why we must transform adult learning environments if we want to increase the outcomes of all learners. If you are a PD provider, you need this in your toolbox." - Katie Novak, Author, Assistant Superintendent of the Groton-Dunstable School District in Massachusetts and leading expert on UDL implementation.

"With this book, you will be empowered to transform your school's professional development so that it engages educators in meaningful, productive learning opportunities. Explore dozens of resources and relatable analogies to ensure your professional development supports best practices for adult learning. This book models UDL in its design and every page is filled with examples that have a clear purpose and that benefit learning." - Allison Posey, Author and UDL Specialist

"Drawing on their passion for staff development and deep knowledge of best practices, including UDL, the authors offer a power-packed guide to professional learning that is both rewarding and fun." - Jennifer Levine, Director of Professional Learning, CAST
