Have you ever sat through school PD and thought, "This is not what I need right now!" Have you ever been at a teacher workshop and said, "These ideas are even practical or realistic." Have you ever been to a back-to-school event and thought, "This was a waste of time." If you said YES to any of those situations, you are not alone.
