Q1: Why is it important for educators to continuously learn new things? #wvedchat

AmberoniNCheese Jun 13 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: The world of education is constantly changing, as well as Ss needs. Ts learn to serve Ss & fellow Ts. Servant Leadership #wvedchat

mburk81 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: I agree with @stowers_melissa! It's all about doing what's best for kids. Ts have to change with the times! #wvedchat

cnicolemorris Jun 13 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Nicole, Hampshire County, just GRADUATED- so that learning is DONE 😂I am doing the TIS program, so lots of learning coming up! #wvedchat

tisinaction - Moderator Jun 13 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: Ts cannot risk stagnating at all. As times and Ss change, so must we! #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Jun 13 @ 8:08 PM EDT

we can’t think that what worked 20 yrs ago will always work for Ss now #wvedchat

PennyRayhill Jun 13 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: When I learn something new I get excited I think my Ss can see that excitement. Therefore they get excited about learning too. #wvedchat

tisinaction - Moderator Jun 13 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Yes! Ss are never the same year to year, and not always in the negative way that some like to purport! #wvedchat

A2: It is our way of personalizing our learning. I learn what is relevant to me and my Ss. #wvedchat

mburk81 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: Ts should be reflective. Seek knowledge that meets personal needs. #wvedchat

PennyRayhill Jun 13 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: cont. The district is great, but can’t offer everything I want. #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Jun 13 @ 8:16 PM EDT

My old district never really did, especially when it came to technology. It was never to my needs. #wvedchat

In reply to @PennyRayhill

cnicolemorris Jun 13 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: another way of modeling learning- seek out what interests you and take initiative to build yourself, #wvedchat

tisinaction - Moderator Jun 13 @ 8:18 PM EDT

And we can always find something that works for us or others to talk to when we need help #wvedchat

In reply to @jodiepierpoint, @Twitter

stowers_melissa Jun 13 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2 the county offers a lot but sometimes we got things through other avenues (online, coworkers) #wvedchat

jodiepierpoint Jun 13 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Our learning needs to be personalized to fit our needs just as we should be doing for our students #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Jun 13 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2 sometimes the county doesn’t offer things as timely as we think- we all have different levels of tech needs #wvedchat

Self-starting and self-guided. Then we can share our learning journey with Ss, if only to guide them toward their own #wvedchat

And those of us who give PD know how much of a struggle it is to do this, but I am trying to make it this way for my staff #wvedchat

mburk81 - Moderator Jun 13 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A3: @mandybflora led sessions at RESA to help Ts transition to Common Core. They were among my favorite PD sessions. #wvedchat

amickthesparks Jun 13 @ 8:27 PM EDT

My best PD has always been self-selected. Teachers who employ agency seek opportunities beyond just being passive PD consumers. #wvedchat
