#164: Why Your Teacher Support Needs a Tiered System
About this episode
Get ready for a smarter approach to professional learning!
In this episode, Becca challenges coaches and school leaders to stop treating professional development like a one-size-fits-all event. Instead, she shares how to design support that truly matches the needs of your educators.
Think of it through the MTSS lens:
✨ Tier 1: Learning that brings everyone together around a shared goal.
🎯 Tier 2: Targeted sessions for small groups who need focused support.
💬 Tier 3: Personalized coaching that addresses individual needs and sparks real growth.
Every PD experience, from staff meetings to one-on-one coaching, should directly connect to your school’s priorities. Becca walks listeners through how to identify who needs what and when, leading to a more strategic coaching calendar and meaningful results.
She also shares a preview of her upcoming virtual conference, where she’ll dig deeper into managing real change and making feedback stick.
The message is clear: when leaders meet educators where they are, everyone moves forward, together.
