Abstract	Our traditional professional development format at faculty meetings felt tired. While our schools--Constable and Monmouth Junction Elementary Schools in the South Brunswick School District in New Jersey--are known for their commitment to meaningful and innovative professional development for staff, weekly Monday faculty meetings didn't always match that innovation. They tended to involve informational staff discussions or in-house professional development workshops, often taking place late in the afternoon after a full work day. It was time for a change, one that could combine the collective talents and experience of our two schools. For the 2017-2018 school year, we planned a year-long, teacher-centered professional development series that stretched beyond teachers' typical grade-level teams at their schools. This was done by bringing the faculty from both schools together to openly share their best resources and strategies with one another. A simple idea, but also, as we discovered, a powerful one.
