Microlearning, Macro Impact: Building Byte-Sized PD That Drives Big Change

Educators don't need more professional development; they need better-designed learning that fits their reality. This round table discussion challenges traditional PD models and explores microlearning as a strategy for delivering meaningful, manageable professional learning at scale. Grounded in research on attention, retention and adult learning, participants will discuss how short, focused learning experiences built around one clear instructional move can drive long-term instructional change. Leaders will consider how to design microlearning that prioritizes clarity, relevance and immediate application, using tools like Canva and Google Gemini to streamline creation. The conversation also addresses building systems that sustain microlearning over time, such as weekly content cycles and shared resource hubs, so isolated PD moments become ongoing learning ecosystems. You will leave with actionable strategies to reduce initiative fatigue and overload, increase engagement and start small by turning one high-priority focus into a byte-sized experience you can grow into a recurring series.
