#personalizedPD chat. A fast-paced, fun chat to discuss personalized professional development for educators. We discuss what it is, why it's better than traditional PD, how to create personalized PD opportunities, how to scale it from individuals to districts, and how to inspire it from individuals to districts to want more and more of it. Hosted each week by Jason Bretzmann @jbretzmann and Kenny Bosch @KennyBosch and moderated each week by a guest moderator. 8pm Central each Tuesday.
Don't get mad if you forgot, again!
Remember? We are having the #PersonalizedPD chat take place at our new home, #ProDriven
Join us now at #ProDriven every Tuesday, from 8-9PM, CST.

Hello! I am Kenny Bosch. Thank you, for joining us tonight for the #personalizedPD#ProDriven chat.
Take a minute and invite some friends to join us for the #ProDriven chat.
This chat will use the common Q1, A1, Q2, A2, etc. format.
First thing...let’s start with Introductions. Type your name, where are you from, what you teach, and if your district paid for an all-expenses 30 Night vacation this summer, where would you go? #personalizedPD#ProDriven
Tracy Kelly, Tehachapi California, SPED Teacher. I would go to Germany. My wife really wants to go and so I would let our district pay for it. #ProDriven#personalizedPD
Austin from West Des Moines, IA - HS English (9 &12). Awesome news about this all expenses paid vacation ;) Let’s go with London - A chance to really get to experience all the city has to offer (I’d bring a bit a diff perspective now than my college study abroad self #ProDriven
Q1. Most of us educators have had at least a few days since school let out. What is one thing you are considering researching to be a better you for next year’s students? #ProDriven#personalizedPD
A1. I spent a month asking educators what books they would recommend for others to read https://t.co/2p5GsIuO0X, compiling the info, and arranging for an amazing summer, professional learning 24/7 experience for June, July and August. #ProDriven#personalizedPD

A1 - Already started but 1) Book Clubs with my Ss and 2) Writing with and alongside my students (modeling) more than I ever have before. I want to make writing experiences as authentic as possible for my kids by writing with them #ProDriven
A1) I want to deliver a more efficient? intervention program. I want to be able to help my students improve their foundational skills. #ProDriven#personalizedPD
It is a joy and fills my passion for continuing to give back to educators who have some of the most important jobs in the world! #ProDriven#personalizedPD
I believe it is an art. I have sure observed many trying their best at coaching. I believe part of it has to do with a critical friend who provides ongoing feedback that is constructive. #ProDriven#personalizedPD

A2: I joined a @voxer book study with other secondary instructional coaches from around the country. It’s given me a great sense of community #PersonalizedPD#prodriven
I just adore teacher leadership! Having guided many toward their passion in this area, I think it is one of the most powerful components to the change process. #ProDriven#personalizedPD
A2) I will start with a Google search. Then if I need more info, I will conduct a Google Scholar search on Intervention Strategies. #ProDriven#personalizedPD

There are so many educators on Twitter who have tried, tried again, tried some more, failed, re-invented and tried again with intervention strategies. So much to learn from them. #ProDrivedn#personalizedPD

A3 Challenge was how to integrate all of recommended book titles into an ongoing, 24/7, summer professional learning adventure that others would want to participate in. Here is what was developed after input of several in #PLNhttps://t.co/cn0PP2rMgn#personalizedPD#ProDriven
A3) Depending on what strategies I find, I will start using them in the first two weeks of the school year. If I end up being an RSP teacher, I will start assessing then move into applying these strategies. #ProDriven#personalizedPD
It's time for the #Lurker shout out!
We love our lurkers at #personalizedPD
Those eyes are so intense! We would love to hear your thoughts. Join in, or not, it's cool.

Our research was centered around providing Ts with various SM platforms to focus on and followed student data/grades based upon it. #prodriven#personalizedPD

A3: By DOING it. Put in work now so I have my bearings and can execute in the fall. It doesn’t have to be perfect. But it does have to be attempted. As quoted in #180days: “Doing something well often means we begin by doing it poorly” #growthmindset#ProDriven
A3: "Trauma_Informed Schools" "Help for Billy" "Lost at School" "Stories From the Webb" "Kids Deserve It" "Fostering Resilient Learners" #ProDriven#personalizedPD
Will do. But our research is already run, and paper is completed. Joys of the program is that you take class and write your paper at the same time so it is all completed by your final semester.
A4) If I am RSP, I will share them within the first month, if they are productive or not. Then I will share with grade level teachers shortly after that. #ProDriven#personalizedPD
A4. Every week I send out a list of the amazing educators who have joined in by responding to a Question of the Day or other activity and tag all of them. Without their love for their own professional learning my passion would go ::poof::

A4: YES! In fact, @MooreReads, @misslaurenpetri, and I have been discussing plans for the book club stuff already. Joining me on writing and keep me accountable, friends? Perhaps we can share writing via Flipgrid as well. #ProDriven
Email to a tech person in District who works during summer or ask the principal in an email the same question? It is interesting how in some parts of the country admin are rarely at a school during the summer and at others they are almost always there. #ProDriven#personalizedPD

A5) I think I would share at our Weekly PLC meeting the Wednesday before we go on Thanksgiving break. This would give staff a week plus to consider what I talked about to see if it will work for them. #ProDriven#personalizedPD
Q6. How many times during the school year 2018/19 do you think you should Reflect (share your new found information) of your progress? #ProDriven#personalizedPD
That was one powerful leadership things that I learned. You sit and listen quietly to a person's dreams and get clarification. Then you move heaven and earth (grant writing/speaking to School Bd/whatever it took) to help them make their dream come true. #ProDriven#personalizedPD

A6. One thing I didn't learn until VERY late in my career was the power of a critical friend. I can reflect but I am stuck with my own thoughts - adding a critical friend into your weekly reflections is a game changer. #ProDriven#personalizedPD
A6: A few times for sure, but the first time around I want it to evolve naturally, see where it goes, and reflect at the end of the semester/school year. As a teacher, this is one of many things I’m planning on trying for 2018-19. #ProDriven
A7) I have a blog, but I do not use it much. I have applied to lead sessions at numerous conferences, #CUE19 being the largest one. For sure on Twitter and maybe my blog and promote it. #ProDriven#personalizedPD

A7: I would say getting the blog back up and going would be one goal for sure. I also want to try recording book reviews on a bit of a more consistent basis. What form? Perhaps short podcast bursts, videos uploaded to YouTube? Both? I guess we’ll see. #ProDriven
A8. I have been in schools for 40 years and every day I am as excited as can be to learn something new. Creating a website https://t.co/S5pzTtgW6A to correspond with wkly chats was quite the learning curve but I loved it! #ProDriven#personalizedPD

Final thought. Thank you for being here tonight. Now go out and make your life and the lives of those around you better. Thanks again to @kennybosch and @jbormann3 for allowing me to host tonight’s #personalizedPD#ProDriven
A8: Yes. Being #ProDriven is a never-ending cycle, it would seem. The more I learn, the more I realize how much more I have to learn. And that’s okay and motivating and awesome.
