    Edcamps are the best - you never know what will be offered ahead of time - it builds sessions on the spot. You can't go wrong! #bfc530

    The best PD happens when you are not forced to sit and listen but rather by participating in the learning. #bfc530

    I've been lucky to have quite a few great ones--one of the best was an academy of cross district, ongoing pd for Ts by Ts. #bfc530

  • GruntledChalkie Oct 9 @ 5:43 AM EDT
    Yep. The topic is a fall back when we need something to talk about. It's the relationship that leads to the links later #bfc530
