Episode Description:

What sparks an educator’s journey from simply consuming professional learning to championing it for others? In this episode, Cary Fulgham shares how a single conference session shifted her trajectory and inspired her to become an advocate for empowering, educator-centered PD. She reflects on the importance of building teacher confidence, creating space for instructional risk-taking, and nurturing a culture where innovation spreads through support, not pressure. Cary’s story highlights how meaningful connections and intentional learning experiences can transform not just practice, but purpose.
