  • From Delivery to Dialogue: Rethinking Professional Learning

    From Delivery to Dialogue: Rethinking Professional Learning
    Oct 30 2025

    What if professional learning felt more like dialogue than information delivery? In this episode, Bibi Haniff is joined by guest, Rosalba Bortolotti, founder of Acorn Collaborative, to explore how listening, reflection, and connection can reshape the way educators grow together. Rosalba shares her journey of building communities where educators can slow down, listen deeply, and reflect together. From her exploration of the pedagogy of listening to the art of creating inviting and collaborative learning spaces, Rosalba invites us to see professional growth not as training, but as transformation.
