How do we Redefine PD?
Avoid PD for the sake of PD!
Find out what they want and what they need … and keep checking in. Flexibility and responsiveness are key! |
Get creative! Try new things!
|
Encourage risk taking!
Lead by example. Build capacity ... spread the wealth! Be responsive ... revisit ... recycle. Celebrate early ... celebrate often! |
