Share - not only with Ts, but the Board of Ed too. Always positive - growth feedback given privately. Use CIFTs to model. #HackLearning

So powerful to document & share! Do u share at faculty meetings? Do the Ts you highlight ever model lessons for others? #hacklearning

A3: I think you should reflect with someone else about your experience, perhaps travel with a person or two. #HackLearning

Please join me in thanking Steve Wyborney @SteveWyborney for moderating #HackLearning today.

SteveWyborney Oct 29 @ 8:59 AM EDT

I agree. LWs are a mutual opportunity that are best when planned and understood by all. Intentional, not surprise visits. #hacklearning

CJCain7 Oct 29 @ 8:58 AM EDT

A3: Have a identified purpose for the learning walk, provide feedback to teachers you visit. Plan next steps to support. #HackLearning

A3: Schools could also give a hashtag for their walks or perhaps even a youtube playlist if Ts are comfortable being recorded. #HackLearning

conniehamilton - Moderator Oct 29 @ 8:59 AM EDT

Yep... I get it Dennis. Our district has at least one day that is EdCamp style. Teachers pick sessions they want. #HackLearning

Thank you everyone #HackLearning enjoy your day

jswartzwoman Oct 29 @ 8:59 AM EDT

I have seen some Ts fail to give good PD a chance because of their experience with bad PD... and lose the opp to learn & grow #hacklearning

Be certain Learning Walks lead all the way to reflection of our own practices. ...all the way to our own students. #hacklearning
