    A5: The best way for me to reflect after PD is to talk with others. It's amazing the differences in what we each get out of it! When I'm reading, I'm a highlighter, note taker, graphic maker, quoter. I love saving quotes that touch me to reflect on later. #tlap
  • forthekiddoes Jan 15 @ 9:37 PM EST
    I agree! I think the goal for me is to make reflective practices a constant part of the learning cycle. Sometimes an end reflection may be too late. What if we teach kids to step back mid-process and reflect? #tlap

    I have got to find out more about #Sketchnotes I feel like I am missing out! #TLAP
  • Miss_Smallwood Jan 15 @ 9:43 PM EST
    A4: My Ss always see me reflecting throughout the day. If my lesson is a flop, I tell my students. If feel like it something they aren't enjoying, I ask how they're feeling about it. I also encourage them to share how they're feeling and really think about why. #tlap

    A6- I write my goals (and to do list) on my white board in my office. If it’s written down there, it gets done! #tlap

    A6: Baby steps! Sometimes something new is intimidating, but using the concept of #onenewthing, we won’t feel as overwhelmed to completely revamp overnight. Plus, jumping in and figuring it out together with students allows us to model reflection for our Ss! #TLAP

    A5: In PD and conference keynotes I mark A-ha moments with a 💡. Then I go back/Home/hotel room and immediately make a plan, tweet, share. Always make a plan!! Or I forget. #tlap
  • SteinbrinkLaura Jan 15 @ 9:44 PM EST
    Just break it out every now and then. I have lots of stuff I use instead. Lots of tools that I teach them, and then I usually let them pick the tool for the activity. #tlap

    Q5: Through #Edusnaps, journaling, soon through Sketchnotes #tlap
  • woodard_julie Jan 15 @ 9:45 PM EST
    A6 that’s a GREAT question!! I’m trying to figure that out now !! I’m taking the first step... #tlap
  • donnaand22 Jan 15 @ 9:45 PM EST
    Q5) After PD, I evaluate what will work with my students. I am open to new ideas but always let the students lead the way in what may work with them. #tlap
  • ulrichedu Jan 15 @ 9:45 PM EST
    A6. I think all my important reflection needs to be run by my planning partner or team. I feel like all my best ideas die in isolation and thrive with the help of others. #tlap
  • KLukawecky Jan 15 @ 9:45 PM EST
    A5: When I read a professional book, I bend over the corner of the pages that really speak to me. Then, when I am finished reading I go back through the book and make notes on these parts. I keep my digital notes in a folder on my Drive to refer to. #tlap
  • yassinisara Jan 15 @ 9:45 PM EST
    I have to write it down, this way I have better follow-through the next day, lesson, or group! #tlap

  • MrsCford_tweets Jan 15 @ 9:45 PM EST
    A6: I use my reflections to guide my next steps. Sometimes in planbook, sometimes in my calendar, sometimes in a #sketchnote, but they're always there as guides. #tlap
  • NowakRo Jan 15 @ 9:45 PM EST
    A6 I write things down. I am the king of post it notes lol I also talk to my PLN and friends about my reflections and goals. This keeps me accountable and pushes me. Just like getting a push from @Flipgrid head of engagement to submit my ambassador application. Be amazing! #tlap
    • hmarrs24 Jan 15 @ 9:42 PM EST
      Q6: The true treasure in reflection lies in how we use what we've learned to move forward in our work. How do you plan to take action on your reflections? #tlap #EduSnaps
  • CRCarter313 Jan 15 @ 9:45 PM EST
    A6: Write, Write, WRITE!!!! Communicate, Communicate, COMMUNICATE!! These are the two primary aspects of my reflection! #TLAP
  • msneil2009 Jan 15 @ 9:45 PM EST
    A6: In the classroom my reflections were a driving force of instruction. I would modify lessons or strategies based on feedback from my students on almost a daily basis. As an instructional coach my reflections affect my daily schedule, who I work with and in what capacity. #tlap
  • Renard_Teach Jan 15 @ 9:45 PM EST
    A6: Small improvements on what I am doing now. And also taking student feedback. How can it be further integrated in my other classes? Everyday. #tlap

  • crystaslaughter Jan 15 @ 9:46 PM EST
    I do love the drive home and time to delve into my thoughts. I have learned that sharing too much, too soon can be overwhelming. #tlap
    • KBoyd1516 Jan 15 @ 9:43 PM EST
      A5: I always reflect driving home from PD on my own & think what is the best thing I learned that I can share with everyone. I've learned that if I share too much of what I learned at once, I completely overwhelm them. #tlap It's hard to hold back when you've been to great PD!
  • Isham_Literacy Jan 15 @ 9:46 PM EST
    Need to step out early #tlap . Love the conversation on reflection! Powerful!
  • Miss_Smallwood Jan 15 @ 9:46 PM EST
    A5: I like taking notes. I live by my @getRocketbook! I can take any important notes down and get them immediately to google drive. It took me awhile, but I also to my own dismay, highlight and take notes in all my PD books. #tlap
  • mrsreedsclass14 Jan 15 @ 9:46 PM EST
    A6: making sure that i use my reflections to change my teaching practices. learning to let go and fail is hard but im working on it. also i am making sure that i am reading to help myself grow and re-reflecting on what i have changed or reviewing notes #tlap

  • ronaldfisher Jan 15 @ 9:46 PM EST
    A5 #tlap I have to find ways to use what I have learned into my classroom, PD for me has to have real life application.
  • KimGriesbach Jan 15 @ 9:46 PM EST
    A5: During PD, I take notes & tweet information. After PD, I reflect on my way home, go back through my notes & highlight information that I want to put into action or share with others, and then talk to others about what I learned. I LOVE to share new things I've learned. #tlap

  • KimSnodgrass Jan 15 @ 9:46 PM EST
    A6: JUST DIVE IN! Why wait? Reflecting is ineffective if you aren't willing to change. Reflect, adapt, and implement change (then, reflect again)! #TLAP
  • TheEdSandbox Jan 15 @ 9:46 PM EST
    A6: If you're not scared of "failure", it's a lot easier to put ideas/reflections into action. For me, it all comes back to my WHY - kids deserve teachers who are not just thinkers, but DOers. #tlap
