Practice Starts With a Culture of Try

In the final episode of our four-part series on professional development, the VIBE Edu crew — TJ Vari, Kim Gameroz, Mitch Weathers, and Joshua Stamper — dig into what it really takes to move from learning to lasting change.

This episode focuses on the doing and how routine practice, ongoing support, and real follow-through make all the difference. We explore the power behind the Hawaiian saying, “The knowing is in the doing,” and what it means for teacher growth and school leadership.

You’ll hear insight on:

🔹 Why PD without consistent application falls flat

🔹 The importance of support systems after the session ends

🔹 How leaders can plan to see new strategies in action before assuming resistance

🔹 Why sustainable change often requires multi-year thinking

🔹 What a “culture of try” looks like in action

🔹 And how feedback can be reframed to build confidence and clarity

This episode is packed with actionable strategies, mindset shifts, and real-talk about what it takes to make PD actually stick.
