Greetings! My name is Jackie Wynkoop, and I'm the host and creator for The PL Playbook Podcast. I've been a public school educator for 20+ years, serving in a variety of roles including classroom teacher, Director of Gifted Education, Middle School Vice-Principal, and instructional coach. Currently, I support teachers of all levels in the Bellefonte Area School District, which is located just a few minutes from Penn State University in central Pennsylvania.

I firmly believe that improving professional learning experiences for educators is one key pathway to sustaining our amazing profession, and am committed to sharing best practices and innovative PL structures that lead to teacher agency with my listeners. 

Please reach out to me if you have an idea for a future episode topic or are interested in joining the show as a guest!

Hi, everyone! I'm Ashlie Crosson, and I'm the Season 3 co-host for The PL Playbook Podcast. I'm so excited to connect with our edu-friends about all things Professional Learning.

This is my fourteenth year in education, and I am Pennsylvania's 2024 Teacher of the Year. I teach English at Mifflin County High School; my classes currently include sophomore English, AP Language, journalism, and Survival Stories.

I've been incredibly fortunate to have some amazing, transformative PL experiences over the past decade, and I'm always eager for the next adventure that will push my teacher limits, help me better connect with my students, and improve my pedagogy.

Feel free to follow me on social media and reach out if you'd like to nerd out with us on the PL Playbook!
