  • MrEandre Oct 13 @ 5:32 AM EDT
    This is about silos. A school that shares is a school that gets better. School culture needs to break down the silos. #bfc530

  • JustinParmenter Oct 13 @ 5:33 AM EDT
    For a PD program to work, the school needs to have a staff that is willing to change rather than wanting to stay comfortable. #BFC530

    #bfc530 Good morning! Coming off a very-sleep deprived week. I create my own culture of enthusiasm for #learning if I can't find it.
  • robinwellshick1 Oct 13 @ 5:34 AM EDT
    GOOd PD smells like trust. If the culture is shady and suspicious, the PD, from the presenters to the powerpoint are seen as shady 2 #BFC530
  • ReadWriteBlue2 Oct 13 @ 5:34 AM EDT
    Our PD is framed around what we're trying to improve- our at risk students. #bfc530
  • BrianHerb17 Oct 13 @ 5:34 AM EDT
    School culture is so important. PD happens naturally if there is a culture of curiosity, sharing, exchange of ideas. #bfc530

  • CoachKCullen Oct 13 @ 5:34 AM EDT
    Theres a correlation b/w how Ts value PD to how much they feel valued If ppl believe they make a difference, they want to be better #bfc530
  • MrEandre Oct 13 @ 5:34 AM EDT
    This requires that we expand our definition of PD beyond after school meetings and conferences. It needs to get personal. #bfc530
  • MsCommins108 Oct 13 @ 5:34 AM EDT
    #bfc530 I am very blessed to have colleagues who are still excited about new ideas in #education. I make that my culture.

    On top of all of that teachers need to be willing to share and humble enough to listen. The school culture is key. #bfc530

    The culture of PD also has to be PULL & not PUSH. If PD is top-down, or forced, sends the message of "you're not good enough": toxic #bfc530

    If the adults are engaged in PD daily, then that is your culture. If we are only engaged in PD periodically, then we are disengaged.#bfc530
