  • david_coccoli Oct 1 @ 9:05 AM EDT
    good professional development is sustaining and a ongoing process, the bad is a one time, no follow up session #sunchat
  • thnorfar Oct 1 @ 9:06 AM EDT
    For me it is the level of interaction. Even lecture format type of PD can have interaction #sunchat

  • susankotch Oct 1 @ 9:08 AM EDT
    In a small district, PD is cost restrictive. It's imperative to seek out your own. I am in love with EDCAMPs for this reason. #sunchat
  • carlameyrink Oct 1 @ 9:08 AM EDT
    We decided to let Ss go early on Friday (extend Mon - Thurs by half an hour) so that we have 2 hrs per week for PD. #sunchat

    First, I think we need to differentiate between training and PD...something I think needs more attention to be authentic. #sunchat

    To be honest - I always miss the classroom. I'll be subbing for a 4 month maternity leave & I can't wait! #sunchat

    #sunchat I LOVE PD when it inspires me to try new things, when the presenter is passionate and it is more about learning and less about a program:)
  • tiffanytruitt Oct 1 @ 9:41 AM EDT
    Great time getting professionally developed with my #sunchat #PLN today! See you next weekend. Please send topic ideas our way!

    Terrific #student-centered #learning suggestions that could also guide #homework. #edchat #sunchat #WhatIsSchool #KidsDeserveIt

    I wish we could do that :( #sunchat

    That is awesome! I would LOVE to do a LAB classroom where teachers come into the lab-class for development. #sunchat

    Our 1st #EdCamp was really successful, too. For Nov in-service, faculty have choice of state-wide conference or on-campus EdCamp. #sunchat

    This was built by our Ts. They decided on the topics & learning targets. Those that already master them work on something else #sunchat

    Yeah, something about this profession makes people fear weakness. My weakness is the best things about me. Reminds me of more to do #sunchat

    I think all problems have solutions. There's probably a way to do this - maybe not the way we did, but somehow. #sunchat

    Exactly - we're a small school with no funds so our PD is free. For Ts by Ts #sunchat

    Content-specific is always great (because it's so rare for us)! Sharing fav pieces, read-throughs, etc. #sunchat
    In reply to @RachelToh4
  • Ms_A_Yeh Oct 1 @ 9:55 AM EDT
    Also love ideas on how to connect more trad PD subjects (literacy, math, tech, etc) specifically to music. #sunchat
    In reply to @RachelToh4
  • Ms_A_Yeh Oct 1 @ 9:55 AM EDT
    And time for vertical articulation. What should a kid know by ___ grade? Those convos are always really fruitful. #sunchat

    Completely env-driven. For too long “A” has been the golden child rather than the process. “C” and below Ss run the world :) #sunchat
