slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:10 PM EST

Hi #formativechat. I am Shai, HS math teacher from State College, PA. Penn State is our biggest State college. It's where I live.

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:11 PM EST

Hello there @slm12 and @PLloydHenry! So glad you could join us tonight! #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:11 PM EST

Q1 is coming up!!! #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:12 PM EST

Let's get started! #formativechat Q1. How is Professional Development currently offered in your corporation or school?

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:12 PM EST

@feltnerm @PLloydHenry Getting a snow storm here right now. Predictions are that we won't have school tomorrow. Boo! #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:12 PM EST

@slm12 Wow! How much is on the ground so far? #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:13 PM EST

A1: #formativechat We are offered PD in several ways. Mostly though, it is sit and get. Ts are playing a bigger role this school year though

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:13 PM EST

A1: Most schools offer sit and get PD sessions one a month for 2.5 hours. #formativechat

jason_stjpd09 Feb 15 @ 7:13 PM EST

#formativechat @slm12 @PLloydHenry Hi there. My name is Jason Dietrich. I am a freshman at Moravian. I want to be a great educator.

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:14 PM EST

@jason_stjpd09 Glad you could join us tonight.. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:14 PM EST

@slm12 So glad to hear that Ts are playing a bigger role. I have a Google Fest with Ts presenting in April. Excited! #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:14 PM EST

A1: PD is is done based on district initiatives. Usually based on what the district is looking to push. #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:14 PM EST

@feltnerm Don't know. With the wind, its hard to tell. Probably a couple to 3 inches. It's suppose to turn to ice. #formativechat

KatieG80 Feb 15 @ 7:14 PM EST

A1: PD 1st semester was 12 hours Ts chose from district offerings led by teacher coaches and tech coach. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:14 PM EST

@jason_stjpd09 Hello Jason! So glad you are with us tonight! Bravo for being a great educator! Start now! #formativechat

danvkoch Feb 15 @ 7:14 PM EST

Hey #formativechat. Dan from FL here. Making dinner so I'll be lurking and doing my best to post w/o burning myself.

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:15 PM EST

Hi everyone... Mark Instructional Coach Niagara Canada #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:15 PM EST

Hello @danvkoch ! Thank you for joining us tonight! We welcome lurking! #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:15 PM EST

A1: we are trying a trying an EdCamp style in March...hope it goes well. #formativechat

PLloydHenry Feb 15 @ 7:15 PM EST

@slm12 @feltnerm we haven't had enough snow to even think of a snow day 😒#formativechat

KatieG80 Feb 15 @ 7:15 PM EST

A1: This semester it is all about how we are using our LMS in our classrooms. 3 times/month required. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:16 PM EST

@MrPRichey That is rather common is it not! The latest take precedence. #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:16 PM EST

#swestschools offers several ways to get Tech PD. As the tech coach I try to change it up with what I feel my teachers need. #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:16 PM EST

@PLloydHenry @feltnerm We haven't either until now it may be an ice day. #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:17 PM EST

@feltnerm It is, hopefully some of the new pushes will help give teacher choice in PD directions. #formativechat

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:17 PM EST

PD is centralized (both top-down and bottom-up needs)... But it's also done "in house" via consultants/instructional coaches #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:17 PM EST

I love this! Teacher Choice is huge! A balance between choice and need would be great! #formativechat https://t.co/YqqOaNngLx

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:17 PM EST

@feltnerm It is, hopefully some of the new pushes will help give teacher choice in PD directions. #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:17 PM EST

@MrPRichey #formativechat EdCamp style sounds very interesting.. You must have some good eager to learn teachers. That's Awesome..

PLloydHenry Feb 15 @ 7:18 PM EST

A1; our formal PDs are very often directed by the board/school - we may request funding for self-directed, small group PD #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:18 PM EST

That is brave! I'm not sure we are ready to tackle that just yet. Love it though! #formativechat https://t.co/Pu21DKgz89

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:17 PM EST

@MrPRichey #formativechat EdCamp style sounds very interesting.. You must have some good eager to learn teachers. That's Awesome..

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:18 PM EST

Small Group PD is something I really want to start! #formativechat https://t.co/yY3lNg5i7p

A1; our formal PDs are very often directed by the board/school - we may request funding for self-directed, small group PD #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:19 PM EST

Q2 coming up! #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:19 PM EST

@MrPRichey I have been begging for EdCamp style Was told that when we tried it, Ts didn't like it. I don't remember it ever. #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:19 PM EST

@TiffRae2013 We are lucky to have teachers that want to share and others that want to learn from colleagues! #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:20 PM EST

I love this idea.. I already have an idea to take away from the chat.. Thank you!! #formativechat https://t.co/fLtiFPGBSK

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:19 PM EST

@TiffRae2013 We are lucky to have teachers that want to share and others that want to learn from colleagues! #formativechat

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:20 PM EST

@slm12 @MrPRichey EdCamps are awesome!! Maybe look for some local ones and rope some of your Ts into going with you? #formativechat

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:20 PM EST

@feltnerm This is not effective! Best to be job-embedded... and onsite! Meeting the needs of the Ss in front of us! #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:20 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 Are you referring to Edcamp style? #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:20 PM EST

Q2. 2. Do you ever wish you could design your own PD for the year? #formativechat

KatieG80 Feb 15 @ 7:20 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 We are using Canvas this year for our Learning Management System. It's something new for us this year. #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:21 PM EST

@slm12 We have one of the ChicagoEdCamp staff at our school as a tech coach. That may have helped us get this going. #formativechat

jason_stjpd09 Feb 15 @ 7:21 PM EST

#formativechat Designing your own PD would be cool! I have not heard of the Learning Management System

teachmbw Feb 15 @ 7:21 PM EST

Hi #formativechat, Mary, Bus Ed T joining late from CT

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:21 PM EST

A1a: #formativechat My HS admin are giving Ts more choice. They offer a menu, and Ts sign up for what they want. I am Ting PD on FA.

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:21 PM EST

Hello @teachmbw !!! Glad you could join us! #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:22 PM EST

A2: I would love to be able to create and/or find PD that would help me grow in the areas I am interested in! #formativechat

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:22 PM EST

Hiya! Erin from Maine, 9th grade English with one class of 12th graders. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:22 PM EST

I really like the menu idea! #formativechat https://t.co/9BEsmgJzJf

Hi everyone... Mark Instructional Coach Niagara Canada #formativechat

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:22 PM EST

A2: I'm dept lead for Eng, so I do get to help with some of the planning, and it def makes me happier to attend! #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:22 PM EST

@eringobragh29 @MrPRichey I have gone to many "local" ones. Just would like to bring it home too! #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:22 PM EST

Hello @eringobragh29 ! Glad you could join us! #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:23 PM EST

Hello @iElissss !!! Glad you could join us! #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:23 PM EST

@slm12 @eringobragh29 Maybe get admin to join you on a trip? #formativechat

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:23 PM EST

@slm12 @MrPRichey Any of your colleagues go with you? Strength in numbers and all that. #formativechat

KatieG80 Feb 15 @ 7:24 PM EST

A2: As a TIC (tech integration coach) in my district I do have some say over what PD is offered. It's nice to have input. #formativechat

danvkoch Feb 15 @ 7:24 PM EST

A1: PD offered during mandated PD days, and I try 2 run some informal PD after school. Trying out technology "snack n share" #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:24 PM EST

@MrPRichey @eringobragh29 That's an idea. I try to get other Ts to go and no one takes me up on it. #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:24 PM EST

A2. T driven PD at our school goes over very well.. I have a team of Ts who help plan what we should offer each semester. #formativechat

danvkoch Feb 15 @ 7:24 PM EST

A2: All the time. I think the best PD is when we use an EdCamp format. Always get best feedback when Ts can choose their own! #formativechat

jason_stjpd09 Feb 15 @ 7:24 PM EST

#formativechat I could use a snack when using technology sometimes.

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:25 PM EST

@slm12 @MrPRichey Same here, mostly because they've been on Saturday. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:25 PM EST

I love the snack n share! After school is not effective as I want. Many Ts are busy after 3:30. #formativechat https://t.co/oFeWxXQcX2

danvkoch Feb 15 @ 7:24 PM EST

A1: PD offered during mandated PD days, and I try 2 run some informal PD after school. Trying out technology "snack n share" #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:25 PM EST

@jason_stjpd09 I agree!!! Snacks rock! #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:25 PM EST

@danvkoch the "snack n share" sounds interesting. How are the numbers? #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:25 PM EST

@eringobragh29 @MrPRichey Only my hubby (a math T also), but he really doesn't have a choice. :0 #formativechat

PLloydHenry Feb 15 @ 7:26 PM EST

@feltnerm These allow Ts to direct their learning - much more "buy-in" when like minded Ts decide what/how they want to learn #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:26 PM EST

@slm12 @eringobragh29 The life of the #teachercouple I know it well. #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:27 PM EST

@slm12 @eringobragh29 @MrPRichey The ones I attend are all on Saturdays, and 2.5 hours away. (those are the "local" ones.) #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:27 PM EST

@MrPRichey @slm12 @eringobragh29 My hubby is a Math Teacher also! #formativechat

teachmbw Feb 15 @ 7:27 PM EST

A2: it would be interesting 2 see what we would come up, Most likely stuff I could use in my class throughout year #formativechat

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:27 PM EST

@MrPRichey @slm12 Same here! Constantly dragging the hubs to things. #teachercouple #formativechat @MorrellTeach

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:27 PM EST

A2. We offer pay for PD anyone have a different way to encourage teachers to come to PD? #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:27 PM EST

@slm12 I love it! #formativechat Mine too!

PLloydHenry Feb 15 @ 7:28 PM EST

@danvkoch These are similar to our "lunch and learns" - great for mid-day learning #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:28 PM EST

@PLloydHenry @danvkoch How do Lunch and Learns work out? #formativechat

jason_stjpd09 Feb 15 @ 7:28 PM EST

@PLloydHenry @danvkoch #formativechat I agree totally!

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:28 PM EST

A2: I do design my PD. That's why I am in many @voxer chats and @twitter chats. I go out and find my PD. #formativechat

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:28 PM EST

I wonder if PD offers new things to challenge you to think... or tell everyone what to do? Innovation or Alignment? #formativechat

teachmbw Feb 15 @ 7:29 PM EST

@feltnerm @danvkoch best intentions to do PD after school but something always seems to take precedence that day #formativechat

PLloydHenry Feb 15 @ 7:29 PM EST

@feltnerm @danvkoch generally Ts arrange these with other Ts who wish to participate - they are usually short & engaging #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:29 PM EST

@slm12 This is absolutely GREAT.. #formativechat https://t.co/6gpCfWXibX

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:28 PM EST

A2: I do design my PD. That's why I am in many @voxer chats and @twitter chats. I go out and find my PD. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:29 PM EST

Excellent point! Differentiating PD should be central focus, right? We have all levels just like Ss #formativechat https://t.co/yle3IPAtMz

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:28 PM EST

I wonder if PD offers new things to challenge you to think... or tell everyone what to do? Innovation or Alignment? #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:29 PM EST

@TiffRae2013 We offer "trade days" Ts can trade a day of school for 6 hours of PD on own time. #formativechat

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:30 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 Should honestly be both. Inspiration is crucial, but consistency is important in schools, too. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:30 PM EST

is there a limit to how many days? @slm12 #formativechat https://t.co/IXWhCTzOdL

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:29 PM EST

@TiffRae2013 We offer "trade days" Ts can trade a day of school for 6 hours of PD on own time. #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:31 PM EST

@feltnerm Oh, just one! #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:31 PM EST

@TiffRae2013 districts offer in-district hours towards lane movement. 15 hours of PD = 1 or 2 hours of lane movement credit #formativechat

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:31 PM EST

We also have a "flex day" the day after school gets out. If you've collected enough hours of PD on your own, no school! #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:31 PM EST

Q3 coming up..... #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:32 PM EST

@MrPRichey what is lane movement? #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:32 PM EST

@feltnerm We don't get to pick the day either. We are told which day. This year, it's the last day of school. (without Ss) #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:32 PM EST

@slm12 Ah! So no subs needed! #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:33 PM EST

@TiffRae2013 part of the pay chart. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:34 PM EST

Big question coming up #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:34 PM EST

Q3. Can there be a healthy balance of self-paced PD and facilitated PD? #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:34 PM EST

@feltnerm @PLloydHenry @danvkoch Ours don't do real well, I don't think. #formativechat

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:34 PM EST

@eringobragh29 Consistency should be research-based stuff. Thinking/reflecting/make choices...should be there always! #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:35 PM EST

@feltnerm Correct! The other times were the Mondays following Easter. Thats a "no student" day as well. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:35 PM EST

@slm12 I like the idea though! #formativechat

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:36 PM EST

A3: I feel like you can define "healthy balance" many different ways, but there should always be some of each! #formativechat

KatieG80 Feb 15 @ 7:36 PM EST

A3: I think a healthy balance would be ideal, but I'm not sure it is always implemented that way. #formativechat

jason_stjpd09 Feb 15 @ 7:36 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 @eringobragh29 #formativechat Obviously the choices you make affect what you do and your overall knowledge.

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:36 PM EST

A3: I think Ts need ownership in their PD as much as Admin/School #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:36 PM EST

We do this as well. The days are built into our sched. 1-2 per semester usually. #formativechat https://t.co/Q5wKIXV46N

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:35 PM EST

@feltnerm Correct! The other times were the Mondays following Easter. Thats a "no student" day as well. #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:36 PM EST

A3: having facilitated for part day and self-paced working PD for part seems like a logical mix. Learn it and implement it. #formativechat

jason_stjpd09 Feb 15 @ 7:36 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 @eringobragh29 #formativechat Getting the right resources definitely helps in this process.

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:36 PM EST

I'm hearing about REWARDS for participating in PD? I think PD is REALLY important. Hope we're doing it for the right reasons! #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:36 PM EST

Great suggestion! @MrPRichey #formativechat https://t.co/a2dJ7tTmnY

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:36 PM EST

A3: having facilitated for part day and self-paced working PD for part seems like a logical mix. Learn it and implement it. #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:37 PM EST

My Ts would not like a full day of drill and kill and not have time to work.. #formativechat https://t.co/F7uFnYXob7

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:36 PM EST

A3: having facilitated for part day and self-paced working PD for part seems like a logical mix. Learn it and implement it. #formativechat

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:37 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 Consistency can be as simple as a common language for teaching ELA across the disciplines, which'd need PD. #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:37 PM EST

@MrPRichey @TiffRae2013 What's lane movement? #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:38 PM EST

WE all are.. But the people who need those rewards are not all on the same page as we are? #formativechat https://t.co/AySdIUy79t

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:36 PM EST

I'm hearing about REWARDS for participating in PD? I think PD is REALLY important. Hope we're doing it for the right reasons! #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:38 PM EST

Question 4 coming up....... #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:38 PM EST

@eringobragh29 That's pretty much what we do. #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:39 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 PD is VERY important, but it seems at times that PD offered does not directly impact T knowledge and S learning. #formativechat

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:39 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 I think Ts want rewards for spending extra time outside of the work day working. #formativechat

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:39 PM EST

A3 Self-paced PD is motivational, but might lead us down paths ALREADY on Facilitated PD might push our thinking in new ways. #formativechat

teachmbw Feb 15 @ 7:39 PM EST

A3: w/ the # of Ts a district has 2 provide PD4,schools must provide facilitated PD not all T's have interest in develop own #formativechat

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:39 PM EST

So, balance between both is a great idea! Wonder which comes first? #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:40 PM EST

Very good point @teachmbw ! Not everyone, like Ss, are self motivated #formativechat https://t.co/MHjjwSKOql

teachmbw Feb 15 @ 7:39 PM EST

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:40 PM EST

Q4. 5. What is your current knowledge of Badging on a scale of 1 (none) to 5 (expert)? #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:40 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 That's always a sticky thing. I want to make PD gamified, healthy competition. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:40 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 The chicken or the egg? Good question. Depends on need and Ts progress? #formativechat

KatieG80 Feb 15 @ 7:40 PM EST

A4: My district offered badging last year for PD. I LOVED it!! #formativechat

MorrellTeach Feb 15 @ 7:41 PM EST

A4: That'd be a 1 :( #willingtolearn #formativechat

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:41 PM EST

A4: Um... 1? Maybe? But we might do it under a different name in Maine??? #formativechat

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:41 PM EST

@jason_stjpd09 @eringobragh29 Resources help, but 10 Ts given the same resource will do 10 diff things based on ed. beliefs #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:41 PM EST

you must have a really great eLearning coach who developed all those badges!! #formativechat #INeLearn #edtechchat https://t.co/mwLM9uZ1fR

KatieG80 Feb 15 @ 7:40 PM EST

A4: My district offered badging last year for PD. I LOVED it!! #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:41 PM EST

@MorrellTeach You have to start somewhere! #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:42 PM EST

@slm12 @MrPRichey @TiffRae2013 I saw the post. Sorry I didn't see it before asking. #formativechat That would NEVER fly with our SB.

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:42 PM EST

Oh, nm. Googled it. Never seen that before. #formativechat https://t.co/mBJvEkmQnX

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:41 PM EST

A4: Um... 1? Maybe? But we might do it under a different name in Maine??? #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:42 PM EST

@TiffRae2013 She must! And a great first follower at that #formativechat

MorrellTeach Feb 15 @ 7:42 PM EST

@feltnerm It's an interesting concept, wonder if the district would go with it. #hopes #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:43 PM EST

A4: 3 #formativechat

teachmbw Feb 15 @ 7:43 PM EST

A4: I personally think badging could add another aspect to PD, but in order for it to work has to be buy in from T's #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:43 PM EST

A4: 1, Had to look it up to see what it was. #formativechat

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:43 PM EST

@teachmbw Agreed. You'd need decent morale at a school to start up something like that. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:44 PM EST

@MorrellTeach It was great 1st time. Going to try a 2nd time but need funds to make it really work! #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:44 PM EST

@teachmbw Completely agree, T buy-in would have to be key and recognition would help keep buy-in. #formativechat

eringobragh29 Feb 15 @ 7:44 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 Yet another healthy balance to strike? #formativechat

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:44 PM EST

@slm12 You want Ts competing against each other? What does that look like? #formativechat

JMPMath Feb 15 @ 7:45 PM EST

@TiffRae2013 #formativechat I am designing badges for each mathematical practice to award to Ss. Very easy to create

I LOVE badging. Just got hooked. Very easy on @credly #formativechat https://t.co/zOfaStZhx5

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:40 PM EST

Q4. 5. What is your current knowledge of Badging on a scale of 1 (none) to 5 (expert)? #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:46 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 Somewhat of a leveling up, getting tokens, scavenger hunts, .. Not sure exactly. Zelda for PD. Badging works too! #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:46 PM EST

@JMPMath @TiffRae2013 This is intriguing to me. What are you using to create them? #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:47 PM EST

#formativechat Still a work in progress on my site.. Feel free to check it out and share any input.. https://t.co/MiDTyr4Dn6

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:46 PM EST

Here is my badging site I offer to my Ts. Still a work in progress. https://t.co/9DYVFl8L2V

@MrPRichey Mine are in G. Drive now but moving over to Smore. I use https://t.co/RiWJsaKR6b for the badge #formativechat

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:47 PM EST

Badging? 0 Is this like girl scouts earning something to put on a sash? :) #formativechat

teachmbw Feb 15 @ 7:47 PM EST

@MorrellTeach motivation for T's to learn new things to use in clsrm, tie in to PD might motivate some T #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:48 PM EST

Great tool to make the badges: https://t.co/ch6JXsvtqd #formativechat

MorrellTeach Feb 15 @ 7:48 PM EST

@feltnerm Love the idea and your website! I'm pitching it to the district when #break is over. #formativechat.

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:48 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 In my situation, those Ts became my building experts. Me + 5 schools = Crazy! #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:48 PM EST

@EdChatIRL Badging is self paced PD. We level each badge. Beg, Int, Adv. Ts learn a tool & implement. Earn Badge. #formativechat

kispypniko Feb 15 @ 7:50 PM EST

A2 we design 30% of our PD as we wish #formativechat

teachmbw Feb 15 @ 7:50 PM EST

@TiffRae2013 @MarkChubb3 this is great, tx for sharing! #formativechat

PLloydHenry Feb 15 @ 7:50 PM EST

@slm12 @feltnerm @danvkoch unless there are clear guidelines for what success looks like it might be diff to measure #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:50 PM EST

@MorrellTeach you will love badging when you get started! My Ts have loved it and have created some on their own. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:51 PM EST

That is very true. You have to set out expectations from the start! #formativechat https://t.co/38DOwxQs8R

If we want DEEP learning to happen, we need to focus on the decisions we make... development of content knowledge... #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:51 PM EST

@PLloydHenry @feltnerm @danvkoch Absolutely. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:52 PM EST

Last question coming up.... #formativechat

MorrellTeach Feb 15 @ 7:52 PM EST

@TiffRae2013 I think you're right! A lot of our Ts love tech, but hate "let's all do it together" PD. #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:52 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 Agreed. #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:52 PM EST

I look at badging like a flipped PD idea. After learning takes place it opens up for great convo #formativechat https://t.co/ae4N9vSLCF

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:52 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 True but you have to start somewhere. This was my starting point. Deep was ind. sessions with Ts. #formativechat

KS_EdMktg Feb 15 @ 7:52 PM EST

@KatieG80 Oooh, could you share which badges you could earn? Would love to see where people think PD priorities are. Thx! #formativechat

PLloydHenry Feb 15 @ 7:52 PM EST

@slm12 @feltnerm @danvkoch without expectations it is easy to keep busy without any progress #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:53 PM EST

@MorrellTeach @TiffRae2013 I like PD in my own space, at my own time, with my own company. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:53 PM EST

SO TRUE! #formativechat https://t.co/VPC60rlCt0

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:53 PM EST

Would I get a badge for attending or for implementing, or for trying it out and refining the practice?... #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:53 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 I never give a badge until I watch successful implementation and full understanding. #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:54 PM EST

So true! #formativechat https://t.co/u1QPoCkvNx

@KS_EdMktg #formativechat I got the badges for Symbaloo, ClassDojo, GoogleClassroom, & Kahoot! Easy to use with 2nd graders. :)

teachmbw Feb 15 @ 7:54 PM EST

@PLloydHenry @slm12 @feltnerm @danvkoch very true, this is where I think many Ts get disenchanted w/ PD -where's the growth? #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:55 PM EST

Congrats @KatieG80 !!!!! #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:55 PM EST

LAst Question!! Q5. If you could design a badge, what would be your topic? #formativechat

kispypniko Feb 15 @ 7:55 PM EST

#formativechat Off to residential trip with G4, have a great week everyone! https://t.co/Dy1YP7ZPWV

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:55 PM EST

@teachmbw @PLloydHenry @feltnerm @danvkoch Some Ts need the opportunities to take baby steps toward growth. #formativechat

KatieG80 Feb 15 @ 7:57 PM EST

A5: That's a tough one! Right now I'd say Growth Mindset, even though it's not really "tech". ;) #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:57 PM EST

A5: My badge would involve teaching the "soft skills" and building a positive classroom culture through use of tech. #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:57 PM EST

@TiffRae2013 & @feltnerm have a present for #formativechat tonight! Ready to use badges you can customize! https://t.co/VyET5cu8Ob

MorrellTeach Feb 15 @ 7:57 PM EST

A5: For Ts, backchannel basics. For Ss, digital citizenship. #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:57 PM EST

@TiffRae2013 I know. There are levels of badges, correct? #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:58 PM EST

@KatieG80 Growth Mindset is critical for tech integration though! Even for me as a coach. I NEED it! #formativechat #rutshappen

MarkChubb3 Feb 15 @ 7:58 PM EST

@feltnerm My worry for the Ts I work with would be that I want to be the co-learner... not the holder of the badge. #formativechat

slm12 Feb 15 @ 7:58 PM EST

@feltnerm @TiffRae2013 Aww! Thanks! #formativechat

MrPRichey Feb 15 @ 7:59 PM EST

A5: Maybe start with SAMR model badges, allows for those that are starting to integrate & be recognized even for the S step. #formativechat

TiffRae2013 Feb 15 @ 7:59 PM EST

Yes there can be.. Depends on your needs. #formativechat https://t.co/c82S3oMnL8

@slm12 @teachmbw @feltnerm @danvkoch precisely - even a commitment to continued learning is a great step #formativechat

feltnerm Feb 15 @ 7:59 PM EST

@MarkChubb3 That is a valid concern! Something I battle with daily. I like the ind. sessions a lot and see growth there. #formativechat
