Hi #tlap!! Happy to be back here now that most of report card madness is over with! Gr 1/2 teacher from Winnipeg. Favourite summer activity would have to be camping!
Hi everyone! I'm April from St. Louis. I teach 2nd grade and am ready to give my 2nd Twitter chat a go! My favorite thing to do in summer is spend as much time as possible in the water! #tlap#edu5213SBU
Happy Monday #Tlap! Akilah, here, Professional Learning Specialist-ready to chat about empowering our own professional learning, which is #JoyfulPD! #4OCF#SummerLearningJoy
A1: Did a great PD day for HS/MS staff. Personalized it via their PD plans, scheduled 3 sessions via GHO, had @mathdenisNJ do a virtual keynote via GHO, & taught Ts how to vote with their feet! #tlap
Girl, I might be out of my mind, but I want anyone who wants to come to come.
If it looks like we might not fit, I'll post a Google Form. For now, just show up.
I have a private room and an overflow bar area reserved. *fingers crossed we all fit* #tlap#REALedu#ISTE18

A1: Generally PD went great this year. Specifically the book studies we did as a staff could have been crisper. Went too far in the direction of choice and so there was a bit of a staff disconnect in the book studies. Different plans for next year. #tlap
A1: Great choice PD this year where teachers got to choose which sessions best fit their needs. Would love some more ideas for making a Pineapple Chart more popular or to get teachers visiting each other more! #tlap
EEEEK! Famous summertime activity? That would have to be mountain getaways with the fam. We ride dirtbikes & ATVs, rent a cabin, read in the misty mountain mornings, & have a blast. #tlap
A1: We had our first Innovation Conference at @CCPS_VA and it was a HUGE success! We had @E_Sheninger and @tamaraletter there to speak as our opening and closing keynotes. Lots of people from our division led awesome workshops for innovative practices! #tlap@ERobbPrincipal
Thank you to @MissNikkiIn5th for presenting with me tonight at the BTS 5th Grade Parent Orientation. Her knowledge of 5th grade was extremely informative for the parents. #bedminsterschool
A1: We provided a lot of choice and used our own staff's knowledge to expand opportunities to learn ( @DoInkTweets, @Flipgrid , RW). I would love to see more follow up after these events. #tlap
A1: What went well: learned from experts like @JSerravallo and @KaraLouiseImm Not so well: Had to learn from curriculum companies with their set of "important" items #tlap
A1: Implementing a digital platform for disseminating info about PD and delivery of PD went well. Personalizing PD among educators was an opportunity for growth. #tlap
A1: cont: Was thinking as a leader, but for myself did SO much PD! 1st time at #PETE+C, helping w/ #PSLA2018 and of course my Twitter PLN. Put many new ideas into practice! #tlap
A1: Well, we did a #TLAP book study this year. Had a good core group of teachers on board. Looking forward to doing another book group next year. We can also improve upon some training in #edtech to get more people familiar with @Office365
A1: This year, our building really reflected on what their literacy knowledge was on concept of word and it’s impact on our emergent & beginning readers. We also implemented orthographic mapping PD to help our Ss struggling in this area. #TLAP#4OCF
A1: I wasn’t super moved by the PD offered in my physical space, but whoa boy did my PD world explode online with Twitter, Voxer book studies and the #4OCFPLN#tlap
A1: Continuing to expand upon staff voice & choice in PD; also implemented first #coffeeedu & #booktasting in district; need to continue along path of staff V & C & staff ownership of their PD #tlap
A1: I found a tribe that was on fire for PD (#4OCFPLN), that was the good!! The bad? Colleagues who didn't seem especially interested in doing any PD on Twitter or their own reading from what I could tell. #tlap
A1: One of my goals this year was to transform #PD on my campus, and @4OClockFaculty was such a fantastic resource!! Did my very best to honor teacher voice and choice! I’m already making plans for next year!! #tlap
A1 I loved my PD this year. I took control and deepened my learning. So many Twitter chats and many PD books. I also attended some conferences. A few more goals for PD but I am in the right direction. Thank God for my PLN and our Voxer chats. #TLAP#4OCF
A1: Ts were very appreciative of many, many PD opportunities. However, it wasn't alway equitable. More T voice needs to be involved where they are more self-directed and leading. Ts continue to crave to learn, which is awesome. #tlap
A1: I found that twitter served as some of the BEST PD that I got this past year! I learned so much from my #PLN & in the weekly twitter chats! I was able to incorporate new ideas/strategies into my classroom... all from twitter! #tlap#4OCF
A1: What went well: learning about and collaborating with fellow teachers to create clear and effective learning targets for our students! Not well: too many preps to work with all PLCs equally #tlap
A1 The ELA Help Desk visits went well this year. I went to most our elementary schools after dismissal. I had no agenda or presentation to give. Just there to help Ts with whatever they needed. #tlap#TLAP#4OCF
A1: High - PD was engaging & put tools in Ts hands to use the next day.
Low - When Ts talk over the presenter on unrelated topics.
@kristi_daws I'm with you - a low for me was not being able to follow up post-PD #tlap
A1: I think we were able to bring in authentic learning relevant to our curriculum revision; if I could, I’d revamp our workshop on rubric development to kickoff #newyear#tlap
A1: well- more communicating and collaborating across K12 during some PD (edcamp-esque) not so well- a lot of PD is during times that used to be for work time or work day and meetings added in—hard to concentrates B.O.Y. on full day PD w/ a classroom to put together #tlap
#tlap We are going to be using micro-credentials so teachers can get personalized actionable pd they need and want. Love that we earn while using in our classes. N
A1: well PD highlight this year was for sure seeing @burgessdave and #tlap live with my BFF @nycoldidcote!! But I also had incredible PD through a district PLN group and lots of self led PD while reading and connecting with all you incredible people!
A1. The best part of our PD was bringing in someone to help get everyone on board with guided reading. Some needed to be told how to do it, and she served that purpose! #tlap#edu5213SBU
A1) I had the pleasure of stepping out of my comfort zone and presented at a conference with @jrestock3 at our #SlateInWi state conference this year. #tlap
A1: my school helped me go to my first ed conference with lots of choice and I heard @gcouros speak. The challenge of the inspiration i picked up is finding a way to put it into practice afterwards. #tlap
A1. Still need to grow in making PD relevant for all staff, but excited about turning our PDP/growth plans for staff into 20% time/passion projects. We’ve planted the seeds and hope to see the fruits of it next year. #tlap
A1b: Also looking to infuse some #geniushour / 25% time into faculty meetings to provide teachers with more choice and time to explore passions in education #TLAP
Well: stepped out of my comfort and provided PD opportunities for staff. Not so well: I think I need another job just to pay for all the @dbc_inc books I want for PD 🤗 #tlap
A1: Ran our first district wide art pd last week and it went great! We laughed, shared, inspired and collaborated. Plans are in the works for another one! When Summer PD doesn’t quite fit your niche, you create your own. #tlap
A1: Loved the #edcamp that our admin ran this year... loved how they were always looking for our input. Didn't love that a few of them were cancelled because of snow days... Usually such great take-aways from that type of PD! #tlap
A1. We maximized meeting time with embedded PD. I work with the most amazing tech integrators. @kylelaurie@WenzelChapman@mrkjped created amazing sessions. I’m also lucky to work w other #rockstar Ts like @kris_vanduyne who shared so many strategieswith staff. #tlap
A1: There is still a groan when it comes to PD in my building... BUT... I was able to get more teachers on the Twitter bandwagon and able to share more of our school story! #tlap
A1: In a survey, 95% of my Ts felt that staff meetings were beneficial to their teaching. We actually don't have staff meetings, we have ?Staff Collaboration Time". So so proud of squeezing professional learning into every second we have together!
#Path2Serendipity#tlap
A1: the most successful part of our PD this year is that it still hasn't stopped. So many teachers in my building are continuing their PD all summer. #tlap#ROGUESummer
I'm interested in getting teachers to observe each other too but I know that the culture has to exist to have trust in that process. Who has started that in their school? Tips? #TLAP#LeadLAP
A1: Ha! I just recorded my video for @RACzyz about this. We asked staff to do way too much (bad); we owned it and gave time back to honor our teachers (good) #roguesummer#TLAP#4OCF
Exactly! I refuse to allow my students to only be a stat!! #tlap Our students are so much more than a stat! Just as teachers are so much more than just their students' stats. #MondayMotivation#WeAreMore
@ERobbPrincipal had us start book studies last year. He gave us a timeline of when to have certain chapter read, then used google classroom to ask questions and we would comment and respond to each others. Expectation was that everyone respond 2x. I enjoyed it a lot! #tlap
In reply to
@MathEdJax, @mrbgilson, @ERobbPrincipal
A1. We had EDCamp with four elementary schools in the district this year and last year. The hope is to offer it to entire district next year. We have 19 schools. 3 HSs, 3 MSs and 12 elementary schools. #tlap
A1 Edcamps and personalized Learning skyrocketed for me the past few years and especially this year. I loved being able to do what I loved, learn lots, and grow as an educator and learner. #tlap
A1 - One thing that went well was during a university course I adjunct I led a Grown Up Genusis Hour for 8 Weeks. I learned lots and my students did, too! #tlap
A1: I revived tons of training in #PBIS and Councious Classroom Discipline this year and it really helped the culture of our school and my classroom! #TLAP
A1 Well=Books and Brew with #learningstl, Lunch and Learn, Techie Tailgate on Twitter chats
Growth=Getting more people to take control of their PD, make my PD offerings more personalized and exciting. #tlap
A1: created amazing pd experiences this year: @DitchThatTxtbk book study, ways to revolutionize pd, #edcamproc18, Blend and Flip your classroom online PD infusing @Flipgrid, can’t wait for next year #tlap
A1 part 2- for me personally it was taking charge of my own PD after reading #4ocf - joining #voxer book studies, becoming part of #4ocfpln , attending first #EdCamp (2) #tlap
A1: low— PD that didn’t fit needs so a high came through taking ownership of my PD. Lots of reading and first EdCamp this summer. Thankful for my #PLN#tlap
A1: Happy to say that I can't recall any of the bad PD due to it not being meaningful or relevant. Had a few good ones however that pertained to programs I use as a rdg spec. #tlap
A1: PD is on Fire when you realize YOU yourself hold the ♦️ cards! I chose to join book chats that have enriched my world and in turn my students from #IMMOOC TO #4OCF#4OCFpln I have found my crew by going Rogue! 👊💥#tlap#LCInnovation#Empowerbook
☀️🍦🕶️SOAK IT ALL IN! Discovered @dbc_inc books and the PLN communities that form around them! The stack keeps growing, and so do the connections with awesome educators! #perfectproblems#ROGUESummer#4OCF#TLAP 🕶️🍦☀️
A1: The best PD’s I have been to this past school year was @EdcampNJ where I got to choose the PD’s that best suited my children’s needs. Another PD that was amazing was in Washington D.C for the @getyourteachon workshops. #tlap
A1: As a second year teacher (first year in public school) there were definitely times during PD where I felt like I was just treading water. The use of Twitter has really been a game changer for me, and I think for many teachers at my school. #TLAP
PD this year wasn't outstanding, but it wasn't terrible either. I'm going next year I can liven things up now that I have ideas from #4OCF and #4OCFpln#tlap
A1: Lots of great hands-on PD this year. The sit and get model just doesn't do it for me anymore. I've also got to present more which has been great as well for my growth. #TLAP
A2: How I will go ROGUE w/my PD this summer:
*Present at 3 in state conferences & 2 out of state
*Read #DBCBooks & particiapte in Voxer/Twitter book studies
*Moderate/Participate in Twitter chats
*Write/reflect via my blog https://t.co/zIbJ9tEjRy
*EDU podcast junkie alert! #tlap
A2: I have a large list of books. Reading them to improve my practice is the plan. Going Rogue by the pool, the river, really anywhere I can tan. #tlap
A1: Our PD this year was job embedded w/ implementation of effective PLCs & systemwide tech PD that was gamified. We also focused on Twitter & building PLNs. It’s awesome to watch a collaborative culture emerge & folks taking ownership of their own learning. #bettertogether#tlap
A1: We have some strong PD opportunities within our district but our school could think a little more outside the box and give teachers more choice. #tlap
A1: I found that twitter served as some of the BEST PD that I got this past year! I learned so much from my #PLN & in the weekly twitter chats! I was able to incorporate new ideas/strategies into my classroom... all from twitter! #tlap#4OCF
A1 We offered teachers the chance to have Good Friday off (a conference day) if they attended 6 hours of PD outside of contract hours. Pros: some great PD that helped Ts and therefore Ss. Delta: not everyone participated, so we still had to create PD for the conference day. #tlap
A2: I'm giving Twitter a shot! Trying to learn from other lifelong learners. I am not a fan of social media but there are plenty of positives to outweigh the negatives! #tlap#edchat
A2: Our district started an innovation team, we have been provided with several learning opportunities and are having Zoom meetings to discuss our learning. So far it is pretty awesome! #SJSDInnovation#TLAP
A2 I have highlighted several ideas! I like the coffee shop vote on topics to discuss during faculty meetings. I want to have a Podcast walkabout. #tlap
A2: I plan to #GoROGUE this summer by finding as many PD opportunities as I can! I’ve been reading many @dbc_inc books, I’ll be attending the #nwmoconf and the #hivesummit online! #tlap
A1: We partnered with @owpmu and the sessions were AWESOME! Content area teachers were there too to help get literacy motived in each content area 👏🏼 #tlap
A2: My wife and I are presenting at a conference tomorrow. I also started a Youtube channel "Edusations" where I am talking with educators from all over about different things they are doing in their classrooms. Very exciting! https://t.co/XjICGDg1DD#tlap
A2: I'm going bananas! Working with @RACzyz project! Presenting at @NJAMLE. Reading all the books. Hosting individual coffee talks with my teachers. Can't wait! #tlap
A2: Doing a @voxer book chat on @dintersmith’s book What School Could Be. Also looking forward to #edcamp leader this summer here on LI. Reading some other titles as well #TLAP
I'm going WAY out of my comfort zone and attending #ISTE18 next week! I'm overwhelmed, but excited! Also, I'm leading a book study this summer, using #booksnaps and @Flipgrid#tlap
A2: It may not be very rogue, but I've started putting hashtags into my planner to remind myself to be a part of this Twitterverse! Holding myself accountable. #tlap
A2: I'm a routine/schedule guy - I need to keep reading for at least 10 min a day, stay consistent with Twitter Chats, and I signed up for @Hive_Summit#tlap
A2: attending a 2 day digital learning summit, 2 day PBIS training, admin conference, participating & moderating a few twitter chats, voxer book studies, joined #HiveSummit this summer. I’m stepping out of my comfort zone so that I can help others do the same. #TLAP#4OCF
A2: I am developing a reading list and I really want to start blogging. It will help me with reflection. So I am going to make the time to do it and develop the habit now before school starts #tlap
A2: A fantastic way to go rogue and engage in professional learning this summer is @EdChangeGlobal! Check out their twitter page to learn more about it! #tlap
A2 Definitely planning some sessions on setting up Classroom, but thinking of offering a drop in Tech Tool Tuesday for everyone this summer, just because it's fun. #tlap
A2: Got my book line-up ready to go! Start my first @voxer book study tomorrow for #betterthancarrotsorsticks! Plus gotta keep up with my PLN on Twitter! #tlap
A2: Signed up for two virtual conferences and am presently attending the #ChattFab18 in Chattanooga. Plus doing lots of @dbc_inc reading this summer #TLAP
A2 I have my piles of books for the summer, a Voxer book chat and presenting and learning at a conference in Alberta. Also taking some time to relax. But this summer is all about preparing for my return to the classroom. So looking forward to summer. 4 days. #TLAP#4OCF
A2 my favourite form a summer PD is to read and blog to reflect and dive deeper. I’m coming for all the @dbc_inc books I didn’t get around to this school year #tlap
A2 I’m loving all the @dbc_inc books I can get my hands on and tweet out what sticks out to me. I am also signing up for some classes through different regions to stretch my brain and learning. Twitter chats rock my world too. #4OCF#tlap
A2: Last summer I went to six PDs of choice & it was epic, but this summer will be of relaxation w/ friends & family as I transition back into classroom in a new school, new country, new continent. So, reading books on the beach is order. What books do you recommend? #tlap
A2 - Hmmm... #gorogue Well next week at the ICE Showcase we are rocking some amazing hands-on experiences. And you can even meet Abe Lincoln! #tlap Real 4Cs of the Classroom! Life-sized Candyland! Sketch-a-poloza! STEM Quickfire Challenges!! Next Week at #ISTE18
I usually keep two tweetdeck columns open for #tlap - one to keep up and the other to look and respond. Otherwise, there's no way I could keep up with everyone's awesome!
fortunately, I have engaged in discussions such as this! I have gained such a rich network of professionals who are as passionate about learning, teaching, and growing as leaders/educators. #takechargeofmylearning#tlap
A2: continue building PLC on Twitter and model that learning with staff. Want to try a staff Twitter chat to share ideas throughout the summer. #TLAP#40CF
A2: We are doing a summer twitter challenge along with summer reading. Ts were given a choice for their book. This great bingo idea was stolen from @matthew_arend and @me1odystacy 😜 We are having a blast with it! Great moral builder as well. #tlap
A2. In a few weeks I will be attending a PLC workshop for my new 2nd grade team! I'm excited to get new ideas and bring it back to the table! #tlap#edu5213SBU
A2. I am developing my annual Summer Learning Challenge. Each year I try to push myself and Ts to grow. This year will have a “we are all literacy Ts” “Fabulous prizes” are always involved. Around here that means #CubaCheese#tlap
A2: There are a few books I plan to get my hands on (classroom management for special area classes, Marzano questioning, etc.), and I hope to find an Orff or Kodaly workshop to attend. #TLAP
A2 - I am also posting daily creativity activites for teachers. It is easy to talk about "creativity in the classroom" but how do you put the rubber to the road! #creativities#tlap
A2: I went to my 1st @EdcampKS, I'm talking with admin about going to some @ESSDACK trainings, I bought one @dbc_inc book which led to enough purchases my bank called to verify. Learned about #booksnaps. Starting this summer I own my PD! #tlap
A2: Twitter chats, reading many books, attending High Aims conference and looking for a conference in July! Preferably one about really reaching those struggling readers...willing to travel anywhere, right Principal @susjane20 😘 #tlap
A2: I plan on attending an online PD on making my classroom more tech savvy. I am focused on making my classroom more future ready with the help of @madi1246@butterflyplc1#tlap
A2: Wow! So much!! I'm reading in a summer book exchange! I'm in 2 Voxer book studies (#xplap and #ShakeUpLearning) I have just started my masters... And I have my mind blown everyday with the educonvos in my #4ocfpln!
#tlap
I have numerous @dbc_inc books I can't wait to read! Also programs/apps to sit and learn (@seesaw and more) and made this for my staff - Thanks to another TL for the "PD by the Pool" title!https://t.co/OCrSYNYtak#tlap
A2: Stretching my wings a bit and offering up some unique PD ideas for technology for my district...but it needs the approval of the boss and the leadership team later this week. I’ve been working on making it extra sparkly to appeal to every level of tech learner. #tlap
A2 - Working in doing Tech PD for secondary teachers, while also finishing some personal goals. We are changing schedules, and I’m hoping to develop new and exciting content. #tlap
A3: #StoriesFromWebb is a perfect summer read. @TechNinjaTodd and staff will tug at your heart strings, challenge you to do more in your building/district, and best of all remind you that no matter a rating or test score we are making an impact in education! #TLAP
We’ve had great success with our school chats. Great way to ease them into chats. Ts are more comfortable and will participate when they are among friends. #tlap
A3: if you want a book that’ll help motivate you to incorporate reading and writing into every subject, with heart warming stories by @TechNinjaTodd@teachermantrav Read Sparks in the Dark! #TLAP
A3: I have just finished Learning Transformed by @E_Sheninger & @thomascmurray. Also listened to The Power of Moments by Heath & Heath. Amazing read/listen. Here is my pile as of this evening. #TLAP
#tlap a3. I will read "The Fire Within" by @froehlichm It is an amazing collection of personal triumphs from educators who have overcome difficult life circumstances
A2 - This is today's activity. .... Work with your non-dominant hand to draw a self portrait. Mine was.... a challenge but check out @fuglefun Her's was so cool to see the difference between her two hands! #creativities#tlap
Q3: Also tying in with my answer to Q2. Written by a PE teacher, recommended by countless music teachers. Invaluable knowledge on handling and making relationships with hundreds of students each year. #TLAP
A3: Lead With Literacy!!! So excited for this! Hoping to gain so many ideas to keep my classroom buzzing about books as well as EVERY classroom at #centralonvine#tlap
A2: We are doing a summer twitter challenge along with summer reading. Ts were given a choice for their book. This great bingo idea was stolen from @matthew_arend and @me1odystacy 😜 We are having a blast with it! Great moral builder as well. #tlap
Q3: Also tying in with my answer to Q2. Written by a PE teacher, recommended by countless music teachers. Invaluable knowledge on handling and making relationships with hundreds of students each year. #TLAP
A1: I would have to say the best PD I had this year was with my own team and our administrators. Us first grade teachers went from class to class sharing what we are most comfortable in and we truly learned a lot from one another and about one another #TLAP
A3: My go to books are #ditchbook and #tlap - they helped lead me on this path of trying new https://t.co/aGTB8jsYDG current summer read is #shiftthis - great, simple ideas to shift classroom culture, plus great stories that every teacher must feel/go through at times. #tlap
A3 Recently read #Culturize by @casas_jimmy It was BEYOND amazing. A must read. Reading Being the Change by @SaraKAhmed and that is a game changing book. This summer’s read & @voxer book study is Lead with Culture by @JayBilly2 Reading/Learning with others is key #TLAP#4OCF
I just finished the Wild Card and am halfway through Stories from web. Both are so hard to put down! @TechNinjaTodd and his crew are so raw and transparent. This makes it even more inspiring. #TLAP
A3: I just finished #Culturize by @casas_jimmy! It really challenged my thinking & pushed me to want more for our school! Just started #CultureMatters by @JayBilly2 and am loving it so far!! Both books are inspiring changes going into next school year! #TLAP#4OCF
Oh you name it.. I just finished The Habitat! oh my golly!!! And I am a listener of Curious Minds, Teaching in Higher Ed, Dirty John. My buddy @chanatown are always on the hunt for good ones!! #tlap
In reply to
@teachermike72, @RACzyz, @drmcclard, @chanatown
A2a: Sometimes, PD can come unexpectedly in amazing ways. @HeartIntheGobi told me about The International Folk Art Festival, and I came away with less money but full of ideas for lessons! #tlap
A3: I am reading Teach Like A Champion and The Art of Focus right now. But hope to leave this chat with a boatload of additional reading recommendations!! #tlap
A3 I just finished #SparksInTheDark which is absolutely amazing as well as Lead with Culture & am currently reading Passionate readers which is phenomenal as well as Stories from Webb which I can’t put down. The @dbc_inc has a serious fan!#tlap#4ocf
A3: There are too many to list, but a few are @RACzyz's, 2 Hack Learning books I just won at @EdcampHershey , and some professional bks in reference to rdg. #tlap
A2: being that so am a mother of two and it’s not easy getting out over the summer without them, I am going to continue learning from other professionals online. I love having educational chats here on Twitter. #TLAP
A3: Reread #tlap and facilitated a book study to get back in the classroom spirit. So behind on what looks like amazing books. Need to read, read, read!
A2: We are doing a summer twitter challenge along with summer reading. Ts were given a choice for their book. This great bingo idea was stolen from @matthew_arend and @me1odystacy 😜 We are having a blast with it! Great moral builder as well. #tlap
A3) Kids Deserve It was amazing! I loved it so much last year. I am reading Tlap, stories from Webb, and wild card this summer! So many great books so little time! #tlap
You all are reading my mind. I've never gotten into podcasts (more a visual than auditory learner) but I know of some great ones and would love to try them out! #tlap
A3: I highly recommend #KidsDeserveIt ! I am currently reading The Growth Mindset Coach and it is full of great lessons for teaching growth mindset! Thanks for sharing, @FriendsinFourth ! #tlap
A4: Am not sure what NON EDU book to read that will help me grow professionally. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is always a fun choice. The first line teaches that the world has teeth and can bite us with them any time it wants. Good lesson there. :) Open to suggestions. #tlap
I could seriously recommend ANY @dbc_inc book, I haven’t found one that I haven’t been able to reflect on. They each provide such treasures to help educators reflect and act upon! #TLAP#4OCF
A3: I could seriously recommend ANY @dbc_inc book, I haven’t found one that I haven’t been able to reflect on. They each provide such treasures to help educators reflect and act upon! #TLAP#4OCF
A3: Other than #4OCF I have so many. Right now, Lead with Culture by @JayBilly2 is one I highly recommend-add it to your beach bag tonight! #tlap#JoyfulPD#LEADLap
A3 - Tweeted this out the other day... I read this one.. prolly monthly. It is a must for educators - and it is what I hope to transfer to students and my colleagues. #tlap
There is a book I always keep in my bag. As you can see from the pictures.. it has been loved. I read it more often than I can count. It is all about finding your passion, your Red Rubber Ball. @kckatalyst Educator friends...give this one a try.
A3: This is next on the list...get ready Reading and English teachers! I sure do enjoy getting to hear @TechNinjaTodd tell his story each year even if he kept rushing me during lunch! #tlap
A3: I have Lead with Culture and Sparks in the Dark ready to go for summer reading. Also, revisiting Learner Centered Innovation for planning for next year #TLAP#4OCF
A4: EVERYBODY. ALWAYS. by @bobgoff You will not regret reading this beautifully narrated book. I will buy it for you bc I have so much faith in it. #tlap#JRErocks
A3) I have completed the following two books so far:
The Moral Imperative Of School Leadership by #MichaelFullan.
Building Teachers’Capacity For Success by @educationhall and @AlisaSimeral#tlap
A4: Forrest Gump. Many people have a perception of it based off the movie, but the book is drastically different. Great insight on perspective! And of course at least one #harrypotter book to remind me of childhood #TLAP
Q3: Really want to read Sparks in the Dark and Be Real. I am doing a book study for @ShakeUpLearning Dynamic Learning and just started reading this book Creativity, Technology & Education: Exploring their Convergence. #TLAP

There are a "no complaining" movement a few years back where people would wear purple bracelets. We tried it at our school...if I recall none of the Ss or Ts made it until the end...we did learn a lot!!!! #tlap
A4: college advice books. My 16 yo will be a jr in HS next year and we have to start the college journey. I am clueless, but suspect it will give me some insight as a T as well! #tlap

A7 Next year I want my students to be part of my PD. I want to make it around their voice, their need. I want them to lead some learning. I want to transform student learning and my own. Time to stand out. Time to be different. A year to remember. #TLAP#4OCF

#KidsDeserveIt listening to the 100th episode, thanks for suggesting this podcast and many others! I love listening to podcasts on my way to work each morning! #TLAP#4OCF@RACzyz@burgessdave
