#PPL1chat connects educators together to engage in conversation and share resources related to personalized professional learning. The chat encourages educators to prioritize their own growth and occurs the first of each month from 8:00-9:00 pm ET.
Excited to collaborate with all of you! Allie Rodman - Professional Learning Consultant and School Board Member from NJ. One thing that helps me feel "whole" as an educator is making time for walks in the park and movie nights with my family. #PPL1chat
Hi #PPL1chat! Amie 6-8 RtI teacher from southern IL. Joining from the car on the way to #ASCDCEL (my husband is driving). Daily yoga in the morning helps me feel whole as an educator.
A1: As we work collectively to support the #wholechild, teachers work exceptionally hard to not only develop their students academically, but also socially and emotionally. Unfortunately, this often leads to teacher burn out. #PPL1chat#WholeTeacher#personalizedPL
A1: I think when teachers don't feel appreciated by the adults it leads to burnout. It's hard to give 100 when it seems like administration and/or parents don't notice or care. #PPL1chat
A2: We can support healthy teachers by creating spaces for mindful practice, offering healthy staff meeting snacks, including treadmills and bikes in the staff lounge, and encouraging observation debrief walks. #PPL1chat#WholeTeacher#personalizedPL
A3: When we engage in conversations about school safety, it often defaults to physical safety. Teachers need safe learning spaces as much as our students - time to process and not just perform. #PPL1chat#WholeTeacher#personalizedPL
A4: Truly engaging and empowering teachers requires shifting their role from being passive receivers of 'best practices' to codesigners on a journey of professional self-discovery. #PPL1chat#WholeTeacher#personalizedPL
A3: we talk about reducing the stigma around mental health, but that should apply to adults too. We need systems that support everyone in the school. #PPL1chat
A5: The most high leverage practice currently lacking in teacher support is time for social construction. There is not enough time built into our industrial age school schedules for teachers to access & co-construct new knowledge together. #PPL1chat#WholeTeacher#personalizedPL
A6: If time and resources were not a barrier, I would challenge teachers with windows and mirrors - consistent opportunities to look through the window at one another's practice and meaningful time to reflect on their own practice. #PPL1chat#WholeTeacher#personalizedPL
A7: Leaders can support the #wholeteacher by modeling balance in their own actions. How proactive are you in planning? Are you providing ample time for actions & replies? When are you sending emails? How are you demonstrating your own constant learning? #PPL1chat#personalizedPL
Thanks for a fantastic #PPL1chat! Join us next month on 12/1 from 8:00-9:00 ET as we discuss "Building a Learning-Focused Culture." #personalizedPL#ASCDCEL#ASCDL2L
