The pandemic changed how we viewed professional development. Our teachers reported needing support in the affective domain in addition to traditional professional development. To address this, we piloted Professional Development in Pajamas ("PD in PJs") that focused on sharing peer-to-peer technological pedagogical knowledge and added "wellness pedagogical knowledge" that addressed teachers' affective wellness needs. This approach reflects a significant change in our understanding of useful professional learning. We share the structure of our approach in the hope that other educators and administrators may adapt it to support teacher and teacher candidates in a variety of post-pandemic contexts at their institutions.
