A1- Not formulaic. Not uniform or standardized. How can I get better for my Ss? #bmoreedchat

In reply to @kellyaoconnell

jazzmeister2013 Sep 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2- Authentic growth experiences. PD for PD sake is just PD. PD that caters specifically to my needs as T is a game-changer. #bmoreedchat

In reply to @MarkLewisLUM

GSmit4Character Sep 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: When PD describes a skill to Ts, 10% transfer it to practice; when Ts are coached thru implementation, 95% transfer skill. #BmoreEdchat

Owl_b_TorresEdu Sep 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: Our learning is highly impacted by the connection we have to it...more likely to implement something you are vested in #BmoreEdchat

DrBrianCook Sep 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: Everyone's cup gets filled differently. Professional needs is no different for educators. #BmoreEdchat
