The PD Workshop is formerly known as Artful Design and Faciliation.
In this 3-day workshop, you will learn what it takes to create adult learning spaces where participants feel seen, cared for, challenged, and excited to learn. Drawing from Elena Aguilar and Lori Cohen’s book, The PD Book: 7 Habits that Transform Professional Development, you’ll learn:
- A process to determine the purpose of your sessions
- How to design agendas with clear outcomes and principles of adult learning in mind
- How to facilitate intentionally
- How to assess learning for impact.
You’ll also be guided in a deep exploration of how to respond to your own emotions when they come up while facilitating PD, how to respond to the emotions of others, and an exploration of how to navigate complex power dynamics.

My favorite part of being a Bright Morning member is participating in a supportive community dedicated to learning. I am enjoying the connections with professionals across the country in a variety of roles. We are able to be risk-takers together in role-plays, which help strengthen the new skills. I feel empowered and excited after every session. My colleagues have shared observations in my growth as a coach and facilitator. My membership has been an investment in myself professionally and personally.
Wow!! An amazing year of learning, diving in and then going deeper. From prework to follow-up, every detail was carefully considered, planned, and delivered. I can’t get enough! I love the opportunities and ability to redo courses throughout the year. I have made so many changes this year due to the learning obtained from the Bright Morning team. Thanks for inspiring, empowering, and encouraging me throughout my amazing journey this year with you.
As an Instructional Coach, my Bright Morning membership helped me deepen my coaching skills and stay energized.

And I also really value that my membership allows me to schedule PD when it fits my ever-evolving schedule.
My favorite part of being a Bright Morning member is the access to the incredible resources associated with our membership. Bright Morning is already generous with the free tools they provide educators and, as a member, there’s even more access. Another favorite part of my membership is that the incredible trainers actually show us how to use the tools in Elena’s books for full impact. I’ve learned so much about myself and my work and have leveled up my skills as both a coach and trainer. This membership is the gift that keeps giving!
