A1 Most effective PD I've been a part of = observing in other classrooms and debriefing with colleagues. Also, book studies #educoach

mvd1015 Jan 11 @ 9:12 PM EST

Yes, its often the missing piece. Without coaches it can appear to be drive by pd. #educoach

How do you determine how much time is needed? I sometimes struggle with that (too much or not enough?!) #educoach

A2 Things "stick" when Ts design in the moment and build networks for ongoing ideas and support #educoach

123MrsSmith456 Jan 11 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2 Workshop time, discussions, and a clearly conveyed purpose. Should be focused on a concept & not a single strategy or program #educoach

RachelTassler Jan 11 @ 9:19 PM EST

YES! So hard to break the compliance mindset in some Ts. #educoach

In reply to @3DChampion

Q3: What are barriers to planning/providing teachers with meaningful/interactive PD? #educoach

MsHaughs Jan 11 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: My best PDs were based on T requests, interactive, choice embedded, work/collab/creation time embedded #educoach

Recent barrier is school calendar: Ts are apprehensive to make significant changes midyear. Some summer PD now part of calendar #educoach

StephGarand12 Jan 11 @ 9:23 PM EST

A3: Ts getting caught up on the things they can't control, micro managing admin, lack of time, lack of interest #educoach

A5: Provide time within PD for Ts to discuss HOW they will implement new ideas; the WHY is universal but the HOW can change #educoach

mvd1015 Jan 11 @ 9:36 PM EST

A5: try to start with the end outcome, then think of the multiple ways one could get there..design and provide those choices in pd #educoach

rechargeedu Jan 11 @ 9:36 PM EST

KevinSheridan4 Jan 11 @ 9:38 PM EST

A5: Provide choice within a range of topics that all connect to and support School Improvement Plan #educoach

AmyLIllingworth Jan 11 @ 9:39 PM EST

Q6: What helps you in your planning process to lead meaningful PD? #educoach

StephGarand12 Jan 11 @ 9:39 PM EST

Likely if it is a school need, Ts will be interested. There can still be choice given to Ts within a set topic #educoach

amberh00ks Jan 11 @ 9:40 PM EST

A5: Teacher input and buy-in on the SIP will help align campus goals, needs, & teacher "wants" because they'll see the end goal #educoach

AmyLIllingworth Jan 11 @ 9:40 PM EST

A6: Asking for input from Ts who will be involved, focusing on site/ district goals, & remembering adult learning theory #educoach

rechargeedu Jan 11 @ 9:40 PM EST

A5: If the needs of the school are the foundation or framework then choice can be used to build on to what is already there. #educoach
