Every PD session we lead is a kind of performance, and it’s time we treated it like one. In this session, we'll explore how techniques from adult learning theory, improv, and user experience (UX) design can help you deliver more engaging, responsive, and memorable professional learning. Learn how to set the scene by building trust; use pacing, body language, and audience cues to hold attention; apply improv principles to build trust and navigate unpredictability; and borrow from UX to design sessions that feel intuitive and participant-friendly. Whether you're presenting to one teacher or a full staff, you’ll leave with strategies to make your sessions land with impact - no acting background required.
