Professional development doesn't fail because educators don't care.
It fails because it forgets the experience.
Too often, professional learning is reduced to presentations, handouts, and checklists that deliver information but fail to inspire action. Educators leave with notes instead of energy, resources instead of relationships, and ideas that rarely make it back to the classroom. But what if professional development felt less like a requirement and more like a journey worth taking?
In Destination PD, Jennifer Crook and Melissa Adams reimagine professional learning through a bold, experience-driven approach that places connection, creativity, collaboration, and joy at the center of every learning opportunity. Instead of "sit-and-get" sessions and one-size-fits-all workshops, the authors provide a practical framework for designing experiences that educators genuinely look forward to attending-and continue talking about long after they end.
Drawing on authentic stories and innovative events like Jawsfest and Wacotown, Jennifer and Melissa demonstrate how intentional design can transform professional learning into something memorable, meaningful, and impactful. Readers will discover strategies for creating welcoming environments, fostering authentic collaboration, building trust, encouraging reflection, and designing experiences that honor the expertise educators already bring to the room.
Whether you're leading a district conference, facilitating school-based professional learning, coaching teachers, or planning your next staff meeting, Destination PD offers practical ideas that can be implemented immediately. Filled with real-world examples, planning tools, and actionable strategies, this book empowers leaders to move beyond delivering content and begin creating experiences that inspire lasting change.
This isn't about another initiative or the latest trend in education.
It's about changing how professional learning feels.
When educators experience engaging, meaningful learning themselves, they're more likely to create those same experiences for their students. That's how cultures change, innovation grows, and learning becomes contagious.
If you believe professional development should inspire, connect, challenge, and stick, Destination PD is your guide to creating learning experiences educators won't just remember-they'll want to repeat.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
