    A1 Best PD is a #collegialcircle framework w/ open-minded K-12 edus learning asynchronously and collaborating with each other F2F. I created/facilitated this for 10 yrs and it is still running now thanks 2 a great instructional #leader. It was an amazing experience! #NYEDChat
  • tyarnold18 Oct 1 @ 8:07 PM EDT
    A1: we took a problem our school wanted to talk thru. We then presented the problem. Answered clarifying questions. Then we were asked to sit and listen as the group discussed it. Very insight to get varying perspectives from educators from other schools. #NYEDChat

    Q2: $18 billion is spent on PD each year. So why is it so maligned? What are typical problems with PD? #NYEDChat
  • iamjaneandrews Oct 1 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    #NYEDChat Graduate student here...I like the idea of self-guided PD through a well-structured hyperdoc. I also like the idea of earning badges...I'm not a teacher yet this is just an observation.

    A2: One-shot #PD is not an ideal type of #professionaldevelopment because it does not promote ongoing learning. Adult PD needs to be continuous and synchronous to affect change. #NYEDChat
  • Klind2013 Oct 1 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    I LOVE working with badges. I established a badge program at Stony Brook U https://t.co/jfLGwQXJ6n This semester I think I am going to start using them in my classes. #NYedchat

    Virtually is a neat way to learn together but when you meet the virtual friend for the 1st time it is an aha moment and from there the learning explodes. Right @WymansWonders? #NYEDChat #WonderChat
    In reply to @LRobbTeacher, @WymansWonders
  • Klind2013 Oct 1 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    Agreed. But I find many schools will pay for a 1-day dog and pony show. The long-term is tougher for everyone to manage. #NYEDChat
    In reply to @cvarsalona
  • LRobbTeacher Oct 1 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    Problems occur when it’s one size fits all, when it does not occur over time, when teachers don’t have input, when there is little or no follow-up. #NYEDChat
  • cruickbook Oct 1 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    A2: not enough thought/prep leading up to the PD. And, not enough follow up after. That and not including educators in the process. #nyedchat
    In reply to @Klind2013
  • oritgately Oct 1 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    A2: There are quite a few #PD days that are one shot deals - not always applicable to the needs of staff. Staff does not always get an opportunity to share their voice in what they want to work on #NYEDChat
  • cvarsalona - Moderator Oct 1 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    How to impact teaching and learning. What to learn from different grade level teachers about content. New strategies The discussions revolve around experience, research in the field, and application of pedagogy. #NYEDChat
    In reply to @Klind2013, @tyarnold18

  • EmilyPuccio Oct 1 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    A1 the best PD I experienced included collegial learning, a lab site to see teaching practices at work, and planning time with colleagues. #NYEDchat
  • oritgately Oct 1 @ 8:20 PM EDT

    I need to try out an Edcamp some day. #nyedchat
  • Klind2013 Oct 1 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    One major theme here in why PD isn't always good is: 1) Teachers' opinions/knowledge not included; 2) Not enough follow-up. #nyedchat
  • cvarsalona - Moderator Oct 1 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    Long term PD is so important. Dog and pony show only allows for one day PD. Not sure what gets back to district and what stays in the mind. #NYEDChat
    In reply to @Klind2013
  • Alex_Corbitt Oct 1 @ 8:21 PM EDT
    I agree, @LRobbTeacher. How will we see transfer if facilitators don't integrate teachers' prior knowledge and wisdom in a PD? Is this the way to bring about long-term, collaborative change? Value and trust teachers! #NYedchat

    In reply to @tyarnold18
  • dbuckedu Oct 1 @ 8:21 PM EDT
    Solution: Take the money and invest it back into teacher salaries and then let them choose how they acquire their own professional learning. If a teacher feels valued, there is no stopping that teacher from developing. #NYEDChat

  • HarMath Oct 1 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    #nyedchat This sounds similar to lesson study. Lesson study was a powerful PD for me due to the collegial/cohort/learning community we formed. We always started with a problem together before tackling our targeted area to develop, observe, debrief & amend to continue the cycle

    Hi all - Chris from ROC, NY, joining late (school board mtg!) A1/A2: Best PD experiences have been through @ELEducation - 3 day institutes that have you wearing student and teacher hat. PD that's always actionable in the classroom #nyedchat
  • cvarsalona - Moderator Oct 1 @ 8:23 PM EDT

  • EmilyPuccio Oct 1 @ 8:24 PM EDT
    A2 I think learner choice impacts adult Ss just as it does child/adolescent Ss. PD is also maligned because it can feel taxing on an already taxed community. The best PD feels supportive and is embedded in trust in the professional. #NYEDChat

    #EdCamp is an excellent alternative to traditional PD. Participants involved in an unconference model where they lead the discussions around topics that are meaningful to them, and not to just some nameless administrator. #NYEDChat

    Just as we are moving our students past the traditional “sit and get” model with our students; teacher learning should be engaging and learner driven. Give opportunities to experience and create new content through learning at all levels! #NYEDChat

    Q3 #nyedchat Non-trad PD: I once took a self-paced online course (free) that taught better ways to teach online courses. It was very helpful--lots of videos to show how to do things, an expert to chat with occasionally and give feedback. I could do it on my own time.

    Reflection. Forge relationships with colleagues and have conversations about teaching and learning practices. Listen and support each other. Do this 2to3 Times a month. Make time; it feeds your learning soul! #NYEDChat

    I'm really not sure I agree. I don't think admins are essential to the core. The Ts are. Admins are facilitators. And the good ones can do great work in a short time. But they have to let Ts take the lead. #nyedchat

    #NYEDChat Sometimes just having teachers have time to share with each other their best teaching moment--that can be powerful. Peer-to-peer discussions of teaching, and the time to have those discussions. If pizza is involved, all the better.
  • oritgately Oct 1 @ 8:52 PM EDT
    It's a sad thought that in some buildings Ts and Admins have 'sides'. Isn't everyone there to support Ss and their growth? If Ts and Admins are there for a common goal - doing what is best for children, how can there be sides? #NYEDChat

    I think that I learn from my colleagues and I give some ideas that have worked in the past. Twitter allows me to interact with edus and colleagues around th e world. It is good to hear from the business world and other roles to see different perspectives. #NYEDChat

    I think I see what you're saying, @Klind2013. Some admins can hinder collaboration and sharing. But a great admin can allow innovation to flourish. I don't know where I would be without my incredible principal, @seraphacruz. I'd be spinning in circles without her! #NYedchat

    @Klind2013 has a great mind and wit so I always love interacting with him. I worked with @Alex_Corbitt & @finleyt this summer on a panel Ken invited us to and we had a wonderful time engaging with pre-service teachers. I hope they took away some positive ideas #NYEDChat

    Carol, Is this being archived?sorry I missed it. Fascinated how PD is looked at from different school constuients? #NYEDChat

    #nyedchat Understanding each other's pedagogical paradigm helps understanding. Acquisition or participatory learning? Teaching or learning? etc. I co-planned a lesson with a stud. teacher. She then implemented something totally different to what I thought we planned

    The new leader is one that is willing to work alongside staff to build bridges and cultures of trust, to effect change, and listen to solutions to nagging issues. We need all the thinking forward edus to come together in Twitter chats so tell your colleeagues. #NYEDChat
