    A5: PD should unique to the learner, aligned with goals at all levels, and honor all facets of learning - especially tech tools. #EdPiper

      Q5: What does PD choice look like in your school or district? Don't forget to add #edpiper to your response.

    Teacher led PD is one of the most underutilized resources, but it's definitely of huge value. It also builds teacher self-efficacy. #EDpiper
