During the 2010-2011 school year, McWhirter Elementary Professional Development Laboratory School in Webster, Texas, faced a significant reduction in funds available for professional learning. In this article, the author describes how videoconferencing sustained the school's professional learning initiatives on a shrinking budget. By rethinking the use of existing resources, educators may be able to find creative means of sustaining professional learning initiatives on diminished budgets. Creative solutions to the challenge of decreased funding can help schools and districts build internal capacity by allowing staff to recognize their own potential for leadership and self-directed, collaborative learning.
