-
-
there is only 1 way to change that! Plan one!
-
A1: The authors of our math textbooks (MVP materials) have come to work with us. 5 educators from Utah. They do great work.
-
PD that was totally irrelevant to what I wanted to learn about or do.
-
A2: mmm. Can't really think of one, I suppose I've been lucky so far on that front.
-
Welcome Geri, Glad in the house
-
-
A1: my fav's are when I have hands on experience & engaging dialog that results in learning & growth
-
A1 John, Principal, Riverton High, late bc craziness! Twitter is fav PD & coaches' clinic even as admin - winners
-
A2. Sit n Get. Do as I say not as I model sessions…..PAINFUL PD
-
A2 have had a few that are totally irrelevant - no fun
-
A2) I never enjoy the "PD" that revolves around a next textbook. It never seems to treat me like a professional.
-
A2: least favorite PD was sit and get pptx presentation in a warm, dark room. Irony- topic was engaging students in conversation
-
A2: least favs: being read to from a PPT and sit/get with pd that isnt relevant
-
A2- anything district mandatory with sit-n-get and no differentiation
-
Welcome sir, glad you r here

A2 Training that does not enable teachers to walk away with something they can use in their classroom right away.

A2: Quality Matters training, great content, really rough training…

Tina from TN, visiting WY tonight

I have only been able to watch YouTube, but I hope someday
-
A1:agree Edcamp PD most meaningful I've been involved with in years.Make your own in house if none around https://t.co/c2jK5dLAjV
-
-
A1 EDcamp. Any I have been involved have been powerful.
-
A1 I'd agree that simply being on and involved with Twitter has been a tremendous learning opportunity for PD.
-
-
-
A2: I'm taking notes and reporting back to all your admin lol
-
we had him in TN & he was invigorating!
-
A2. In my early years of teaching I had several PDs in auditoriums of Ts...not personalized nor engaging.
-
A2: Least favorite... Probably learning to follow some out-dated curriculum with fidelity.
-
I smell a plan coming together
-
Yes, is in Denver this summer. will be there! & I have a poster
-
A2: a training when I was in Colorado about ELLs. There was no differentiation and was an epic waste of time!
-
egads! hate those & especially when it contradicts the message
-
A2: a few yrs back, National speaker, spoke to whole staff. Not pertinent to our needs, no buy in. Fell flat. Waste of time & $
-
Its call for Anti - acids for sure
-
I can look it up but do you know the dates by chance?
-
Q2 When there is not time to work & collab as professionals
-
A2: Having to be at a trng that wasn't relevant bc there wasn't room in others-I was reqd to be somewhere.
-
A2: Im still really new, so I welcome everything right now... none so far
-
Do you think there's a difference between & ?
-
A2: administration duties that take time away from teaching/prep hour...maybe I need a personal secretary
-
A2 anything disorganized without real purpose and student impact
-
oh geez! Do they tend to provide lunch out in this direction?
-
so happy to say our entire edtech team will be at ISTE2016. Can't wait!
-
-
-
Great point about buy in! What do you think helps get buy in?
-
Welcome, didnt see u sneak in
-
Jonathan Atchley, Assistant Principal, joining from Oklahoma
-
-
Sound like you needed and in the house! https://t.co/iXwCa6HFDH
-
-
A2: a few yrs back, National speaker, spoke to whole staff. Not pertinent to our needs, no buy in. Fell flat. Waste of time & $
-
Q3: What kinds of PD are the most helpful to you as a T or A? Topics? Format?
-
A2: Any PD where someone talks at me for hours and leaves me sitting still.
-
-
-
Hi everyone sorry for being late. Craig Williams 4th grade Cheyenne
-
-
-
Welcome and glad an Okie is in the house
-
A3: I like to learn about new trends in technology and how to use them effectively.
-
A3: Any kind of PD where I can learn about the realities of practicing in the field from practitioners (as a student)
-
Welcome ! Better late than never. :)
-
Welcome and glad u r here, late...no worries
-
a3) thought-provoking, relevant, personalized and something I can use.
-
Think it needs to serve a purpose,a means to an end. Can't just grab topic out of a bag & make it work. https://t.co/SC2RUC31Wy
-
-
Great point about buy in! What do you think helps get buy in?
-
A3: I'm always excited when a PD gives me ideas to try the next day, next week!
-
A3- anything that takes each person into consideration- don't give me a tech training for something I've used for years
-
A3: hands-on experience, engaging convo in groups that can learn together,pd that I select or have input to ensure relevance
-
A3: Any PD that gives me autonomy, choice, and a chance to share/collaborate with others is just my game.
-
A3 Ones that tie into school goals. Common focus.
-
Amen to that! Those lectures are harmful to my well being haha
-
A3 I am always looking for trainings that make writing instruction more hands on and meaningful
-
the PD we did with was epic!
-
A3: Targeted and specific PD works best for me. Help me become better at what I do, not give me one more thing to learn.
-
It’s a good reminder of what a kid goes through in a dull class after lunch.
-
-
A3 The ones that work in a real class...teach our students as model, no I have seen it work...show me the money
-
I agree with . Learning fun things to do with tech is good stuff. https://t.co/8X2hjXjH8p
-
-
A3: I like to learn about new trends in technology and how to use them effectively.
-
Q3 T-provides tools/strategies that can be incorporated soon. A-same-I try to look at all PD as a teacher not always admin.
-
RHS did our Staff Voice group mtg & 1 outcome was peer observations. Does anyone use those? helpful hints/ideas?
-
Q3: love PD where there is choice with a variety of topics for everyone Preferred format-hands on or discussion
-
He skyped in for an hour at a few years ago-even that was engaging!
-
I agree, give me things I can use tomorrow. Teachers are already short on time.
-
a3) I find if I have the right attitude, 98% of PD can be useful! There is always something to be learned.
-
A3: I like technology PD centered around my needs as a teacher. Not where I am supposed to center my teaching around the tech
-
A3: style,hands down. As an Admin, I see what Ts share & how they commit to improving & I can see where I need to help
-
Love this attitude! :) https://t.co/JYtkZWd3bQ
-
-
a3) I find if I have the right attitude, 98% of PD can be useful! There is always something to be learned.
-
A3. A colleague of mine told me if I can take 3 things away I can use tomorrow it was a valuable PD experience.
-
A3 love book studies, but good to have choice of books, choice of topics so you can pursue passions
-
A3: Any PD that helps instructors use old tools in a new way!
-
Q3 Where we learn & collaborate on how to implement. Can't leave us w more work to do to implement
-
Choice is always good...create buy in and ownership
-
A3: I like PD that doesn't overwhelm me but gets me thinking of new things to try! Relevant
-
You set the bar high, Wayne! https://t.co/CNKD12n52i
-
-
a3) I find if I have the right attitude, 98% of PD can be useful! There is always something to be learned.
-
How do you overcome personal attitude when the topic or format are ineffective or information inaccurate?
-
I am sure your Ts appreciate that very much! https://t.co/kSCpu26wdR
-
-
Q3 T-provides tools/strategies that can be incorporated soon. A-same-I try to look at all PD as a teacher not always admin.
-
A3: Something like a Ron Clark Academy- energy, fun, a twist, but effective otherwise not sure
-
yeah that ties in with my thoughts on Q3...A3: PD that enable me, I learn to do by doing!
-
Q4: What topics do you think are overdone in PD?
-
connect with other educators & learn from them. It does not even have to be about the topic. https://t.co/FmDRhcZGoj
-
-

-
-
How do you overcome personal attitude when the topic or format are ineffective or information inaccurate?
-
A3 combo of instructional leadership and Ed law, best PD for Admin would have both
-
-
A3: Great point . https://t.co/ICev1c1sm1
-
-
A3: I like technology PD centered around my needs as a teacher. Not where I am supposed to center my teaching around the tech
-
Totally agree. Have to bring a good attitude and an open mind
-
A4: Assumption of knowledge about certain topics or conversely assumption of a lack of knowledge about certain topics.
-
Once was in a PD where a teacher kept sighing heavily, sheesh, felt so bad for presenter
-
A4 Learning targets. Know they are important but in comp. not really.
-
-
Right, just because you aren’t a kinesthetic learners doesn’t mean you want to sit and listen for hours.
-
Welcome.... is glad u r here
-
Yikes! I was in one where an administrator kept nodding off, lol https://t.co/rXkNelyJbl
-
-
Once was in a PD where a teacher kept sighing heavily, sheesh, felt so bad for presenter
-
Maybe presenter needed to be encouraged to improve...just saying
-
A4 Writing curriculum and rehashing assessments. Let's stick with something for awhile
-
A4: not sure.. mandated testing, common core maybe
-
A4: not sure I've felt like one has been overdone-I still always take something away
-
A4 the next silver bullet. Focus on schools goals not next quick fix.
-
a4) Father forgive me, interpreting data...I know it is important but 37 ways to figure it out is a bit overwhelming
-
I feel like a because I am an innovator- been there done that- get on MY ship!
-
A4:General "tech" PD.Sometimes needed,but targeted,specific PD on tools that Ts need to improve instruction is better
-
Well said and entertaining Heard term this week data informed...like better than data driven
-
A4 hmmm PD should be done after survey of Tchers, to see where needs fall, choice and variety, PD disguised as "what you must do!
-
A4 Any time PD is doesn't allow teacher differentiation, it's frustrating and overdone. Each teacher needs different PD
-
A4 I'm a 'learn something from everyone you meet' kind of person so luckily, I don't know!
-
How about "Rule of Feet" for all PD? Don't like it, or need it. Go back to room and work there.
-
I agree! Was a training on google docs - was a wide variety of exposure and abilities,
-
Sit kids down, doing low-grade clerical work, don't be surprised if they start to fidget. https://t.co/x6NMrhrZqc
-
-
yeah that ties in with my thoughts on Q3...A3: PD that enable me, I learn to do by doing!
-
I was asked just last week by Principal as to what I wanted next PD to be. I was thrilled.
-
Q5: What topics aren't addressed enough in PD?
-
Would anyone ever stay? hahaha https://t.co/UPg7eKtQA6
-
-
How about "Rule of Feet" for all PD? Don't like it, or need it. Go back to room and work there.
-
Agree. It is only 1st base, we need so much more to bring our S home in this global world!
-
A5: I'm not sure. I will defer to the more knowledgeable participants on this question.
-
Too many people would take advantage of it- esp if it is out of their comfort zone
-
Music to my edu-heart. Nothing worse than sitting through a session, wasting time.
-
If it was useful...we would
-
A5 Creating strong S and T relationships.
-
Love the philosophy of voting with your feet https://t.co/1MYRGvVhtt
-
-
How about "Rule of Feet" for all PD? Don't like it, or need it. Go back to room and work there.
-
-
A4. Hmmm... not sure. The PD I participate in now is always connected to our strategic plan, so nothing has been overdone 4 me.
-
A5 TRUE technology integration...often time more of sales pitches
-
Would T come to my staff meetings if they were not required? Question causes me to think of how to up my game.
-
Retweeted UW-Casper ():
A3: I like to learn about new trends in technology and how to use them effectively.
-
A5 - Effective tech usage
-
Doubtful...I've learned you Ts are a hateful, selfish bunch of rebels :) https://t.co/7HQYFFE9uz
-
-
If it was useful...we would
-
A5 Working with diverse groups of students with different needs and specific strategies to help them
-
Well howdy there, stranger!
-
A5: sometimes I think the behavioral areas are neglected-growth mindset, quantum learning, mtss
-
Welcome sir. Missed u at the door
-
PD needs to give the chance to network/connect with others. The conversation should continue after the workshop, not stop.
-
-
A5 The importance of student voice/choice. Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
-
Boom! https://t.co/4zH99dyzUG
-
-
PD needs to give the chance to network/connect with others. The conversation should continue after the workshop, not stop.
-
A5: leveraging technology for differentation
-
A5- time to actually collaborate and plan cool integrated units, build prof relationships
-
A5:How Ts can collaborate,share strategies,what works/doesn't.Real world fixes to Ts problems/issues.Too often PD is too"big pic"
-
a5) the art of teaching. We are getting really good at science. If you don't have the art kids could care less about your sci
-
A5: Not sure... I defer as well... I want to here from other expert Ts
-
When leading a PD session, I created 5 topics & then used tech to survey participant needs. The results drove the presentation.
-
If its out of the comfort zone, they are not listening anyway.
-
-
A5: Why technology matters, and why it is important teachers and admin know how to use it professionally and ethically.
-
-
Yes! Post-workshop collaboration is key to showing what you learned works! https://t.co/T2Fr6jrMQi
-
-
PD needs to give the chance to network/connect with others. The conversation should continue after the workshop, not stop.
-
Hi ....fancy meeting you here. This is . I have worked with you with DoDEA and AdvancED!
-
-
A5: How about Genius Hour or 20% Time for teachers?
-
Edcamp & are intertwined. T voice is critical as well.
-
-
A5 I think we don't hit Ed law enough, sped law, how to truly differentiate and meet the needs of all kids
-
A5: tech integration as seamless part of curri, not a shiny extra...and personalized raining for those that lack comfort w/ tech
-
Where are you now ? I miss not chatting with you.
-
A5 best practice, latest brain research,
-
-
-
Q6: What's your biggest obstacle to participating in PD?
-
I would love that. Often I have ideas I want to explore but lack the time to do it.
-
was thinking about allowing Ss to explore passions, demonstrate learning, etc.
-
-
-
-
-
A6: Consistently finding ways to keep myself up to date on upcoming PD opportunities.
-
Have you read ’s books? Brain-based learning at its finest.
-
a6) The rat race. People are busy hard to find time and be attentive when there.
-
-
A5 We were able to concentrate on our personal goals for our last PD - valuable because it was individually driven
-
well said Darrin, meeting all the students where they are and finding strengths
-
-
A6: matching appropriate topic with T position and getting a return on it
-
A6 Time once I am back in the classroom to really process through what I learned and thoughtfully look at how I can implement it
-
A6. I don't want to say it...but time right now. I have so many ideas I want to research, but have to hone myself in!
-
All the more reason to tap into free resources found in PLNs such as this, don't you think? https://t.co/tCZT0Nnx1Y
-
A6: An obstacle is sometimes fighting neg attitudes of others.
-
A6- my drive for learning tends to put me ahead of the curve- my attitude gets in the way!
-
A6. if you want it you find it... so maybe $$$ but not sure on this one PD is available if you really want to learn
-
A6: for many teachers in our district, time. trying to embed the PD in day-to-day activities
-
A6 time...without question
-
A6:for PD outside of District days,it would just be time away from daily duties.tough to leave others to do your work as Admin
-
No I haven't.. putting it on my list.. love reading professional books.. TY
-
-
-
A6 Time. NASSP is moving to summer. School counselors nat'l conf is in Denver July 2017. MT bx initiative is awesome in June
-
True Energy suckers as I call them
-
special Ed laws are very specific and more PD on them is always needed for all educators
-
-
A6: I'm all in unless it doesn't pertain to me or I'm being read to, so I guess buy-in
-
yes! I always come back with amazing ideas, just need time to sift through it all!
-
Well said Sarah-this is a big challenge overcoming the 'way we've always done it' and the 'not-sees' https://t.co/cXW95ieol5
-
-
A6: An obstacle is sometimes fighting neg attitudes of others.
-
A6: I want to hear people who still do the dirty work. Why is it the further one is from ed the more they are an expert?
-
"So much" is another good one. And passionate learners always have plate overflowing. https://t.co/vDh0N9puVK
-
-
A6. I don't want to say it...but time right now. I have so many ideas I want to research, but have to hone myself in!
-
"The way we've always done it" is so frustrating to hear... I agree! https://t.co/Q1Tfk99twR
-
-
Well said Sarah-this is a big challenge overcoming the 'way we've always done it' and the 'not-sees' https://t.co/cXW95ieol5
-
-
A6: An obstacle is sometimes fighting neg attitudes of others.
-
A6: sales/mktg and current development responsibilities
-
A6: I think we underestimate the response to the question, "What's in it for me?"
-
critical that we stay updated in order to stay in compliance
-
Q7: Do Ss play a role in the PD you attend or avoid?
-
-
B/c the ones doing the "dirty work" are busy at work on your PD day! Ha! It sure is frustrating! https://t.co/S1m2WenB5G
-
-
A6: I want to hear people who still do the dirty work. Why is it the further one is from ed the more they are an expert?
-
A6.2 will add I often select pd on my own time b/c it's relevant & engaging to me...twitter chats, edcamps, conf, webinars,etc
-
I just keep trying to fight the good fight. 😊
-
Going to hop out a bit early. We take off early for . Great to be a dad and chaperone for a few days. :)
-
A7 Time away from students impacts choices... ISTE always has great S presentations that r powerful.
-
A7: find it very powerful to hear Ss voice, like it when they are part of PD
-
Q7: yes or at least I hope Ss are the reason... I want to bring back something to them
-
A7: They should... Your goal for attending should be to improve your teaching for them.
-
A7: absolutely! As a SPED T I'm always thinking about how to improve what I do for my Ss!
-
A7: Your Ss should be the main reason for trying to get better, shouldn't they?
-
Safe travels and have a great week
-
A7: Ts are my Ss &yes b/c I often chose pd that helps me grow/learn so that I can be equipped to assist them & meet their needs
-
A7: No, students rarely have a voice in PD. But, here are ideas from students on what engages them: https://t.co/lWBNysfHso
-
a7) have to answer this one. Prev Sch. another T trained S to be Tech Trainers for teachers. !!!!
-
One would hope, but since the S-T relationship has already come up, it seems like an interesting subtopic
-
A7:PD days are usually days off for Ss & any prof Conf etc is kid free usually.They are abstract components of discussions
-
Great comment! I like it when students share thoughts in PD, and I think they like it, too! https://t.co/el0s6e4tvB
-
-
A7: find it very powerful to hear Ss voice, like it when they are part of PD
-
A7: not really applicable for me at the moment. But hopefully would be important in the future.
-
-
Yes! If it doesn't pertain to student learning and needs no reason to go
-
A7 I have been very S focused on my personal PD. Ts have been invited, not attended, yet. Ss are who we serve, have to drive PD
-
Change in culture takes time though
-
A7: Ss are the focus of education, any PD should be based around improving their experience.
-
A7 Ss play a huge part in my needs for PD.. huge
-
Absolutely! have a culture of trust that leads to achievement
-
-
Q7a: Have you attended PD where Ss led the conversation?
-
A7 our building/district mission/vision and goals based on student needs drives PD decisions. Not sure that always happens.
-
Yes! If not, the PD is meaningless...
-
-
-
Talk about culture change...Would you like to come work for me? https://t.co/mgwOrUvCVt
-
-
Q7a: Have you attended PD where Ss led the conversation?
-
Q7: Not yet, but we are considering having a tech help center run by students at the AdvancED CIC
-
What a great idea! I know my kids teach me about tech all the time... Empowering for them!
-
This gets at one of your earlier points, ! https://t.co/4n9KTQIkgP
-
-
Q7a: Have you attended PD where Ss led the conversation?
-
Speaking of Cody has some great jobs open!
-
A7a Edcamp, students were equals in the conversation.
It was interesting
-
-
-
-
We had student-led sessions at last year and recently at our middle school state conference. https://t.co/TWHtVpqpCD
-
-
Q7a: Have you attended PD where Ss led the conversation?
-
A7. Ss are the reason I continually seek out PD. They demand change and growth - which I LOVE!
-
A7:most of our building lv PD is focused on improving learning,instruction & culture of our school. Ss are at the ❤️ of that
-
A7: attended a great session on how Ss wanted to use tech for learning
-
Were they there speaking?
-
-
Have to jet early...thx for a great convo!
-
Phone about to die, thanks for the great convo! See you later from O-H-I-O!
-
A7: Yes, at two years ago! A 5th grade Ss led a session about Stop Motion Movies. It was great!
-
-
If students have a voice in their learning it improves, what if they had a voice in our learning? https://t.co/vV4g5fyXXr
-
-
A7:most of our building lv PD is focused on improving learning,instruction & culture of our school. Ss are at the ❤️ of that
-
Good night Chuck! https://t.co/UxMhktg7W6
-
-

Q8: Do parents or the community play a role in the PD you attend or avoid?

A8 Would love PD for P involvement for all staff. Would love if Ps would attend PD we do provide. Lot of $ for small attendance
-
We are for our new data and SIS systems change. They are being included

A8 Haven't thought too much about this. Might be valuable. Parent input/involve/collaboration is something to be better at.
-
sometimes we need to ask parents for more involvement and input in their child's education than bringing cupcakes

Save room for the MS staff as well. https://t.co/plZrtNtFrp
