S3 Ep31: The Absolute WORST Professional Development Sessions We've Ever Attended!

Buckle up as we dive into the world of professional development in this week's episode of Teachers Off Duty, featuring the incredibly talented comedian and host of Crying in My Car, a podcast for teachers, Devin Siebold! Gabe, Devin, Tell, and Lauran share their most outrageous and hilarious professional development stories, from forgotten departments to surprise presenters.

Devin recounts a county that completely forgot about his department and the ethics violation rundown by a judge that was anything but planned. Meanwhile, Lauran shares her experience of a PD in Houston, emphasizing the importance of keeping things stress-free. Gabe talks about his visits to universities, enlightening future educators on what he wishes he knew before becoming a teacher.

The laughs keep coming as we discuss the various hiccups of PD presentations, teachers sneaking in extra tasks during PDs, and the fleeting impact of supposedly inspiring professional development sessions. Devin also shares his unique approach to PD speaking – comedy in the classroom – and its importance in keeping teachers engaged.

Don't miss this hilarious take on the often absurd world of professional development with the hilarious Devin Siebold. Tune in, laugh out loud, and don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe to The Teachers Off Duty podcast for more comedic insights into the teaching world.
