Title: iPD: View, Process, Reflect, Connect, Repeat

Elaine’s Short Story: Every day, I revisit a key concept that has driven my work: “What will I learn that will lead to tomorrow’s questions?” I hope to keep asking that question for another twenty years.

Elaine’s Idea In A Nutshell: What could change if we flipped PD? Use real-world video-based models to frame and individualize your next PD session.
