#personalizedPD chat. A fast-paced, fun chat to discuss personalized professional development for educators. We discuss what it is, why it's better than traditional PD, how to create personalized PD opportunities, how to scale it from individuals to districts, and how to inspire it from individuals to districts to want more and more of it. Hosted each week by Jason Bretzmann @jbretzmann and Kenny Bosch @KennyBosch and moderated each week by a guest moderator. 8pm Central each Tuesday.

“Outside your educational bubble” is key! 🔑 The real edu-power of using Twitter for #personalizedPD is connecting & learning from voices OUTSIDE of your own district. Learn what’s happening in the big wide 🌎 & bring it back TO your district. #ProDriven

Hello! My name is Hanna and I am majoring in Agriculture Education at UW-Platteville and I am so stoked to learn about Professional Development into the classroom!!!! #personalizedpd#uwpsoe4020
Though I haven't had any concrete teaching experience in the past, I've taken it upon myself to analyze when I'm in a position of leadership to find what's best for my followers AND myself. If my plan doesn't accommodate that, I change it. #ProDriven#PersonalizedPD

Hi my name is Shelle. I am a senior at UW Platteville and I am joining your chat tonight to see what I can learn and use in my work day about #personalizedpd#soeuwp4020
A2: I probably don't reflect enough on my learning plan. Time to re-read your book! My journey is trying to completely learn a new position! #prodriven#personalizedPD
A2: I make time to review my professional goals and check progress towards the learning outcomes I’ve set. When I see myself getting off into the weeds a bit I reflect on if it’s because of a change in needs present or other influencers. #ProDriven#personalizedPD

A1: I view it as a responsibility I have to my students, teachers, admins, & community at large. I seek out #personalizedPD FOR them so that I am well-informed about best practices in Ed around the world, & well-connected to people, companies, & orgs that can help make us better!
A2: I honestly need to revisit my learning plan. I am all over the place because I always want to learn EVERYTHING! I really do need to filter & focus. That’s a good goal - thanks! #personalizedPD#ProDriven
It’s easy to get off into the weeds on your own journey due to the day-to-day influences that draw our focus. When I find myself drifting off course, it’s a signal that it’s time to step back and reflect. #ProDriven#PersonalizedPD
Hello! my name is Kate Isbell and I am majoring in Agricultural Education at the University of Wisconsin Platteville. I am looking forward to my future career as a educator and would like to learn more about #PersonalizedPD
A3: I'm reading What's the Best That Could Happen by @millerread. Troublemakers by @CarlaShalaby rocked my first-grade teacher mind and challenged me as an educator and as a mom. #ProDriven#personalizedPD
I am wondering what other twitter chat groups people belong to along with this one to gain ideas for their classroom? Any suggestions for an incoming teacher? #personalizedpd
Hey Friends. It's time for the Lurker Shoutout. If you're lurking and learning, feel free to jump in & say hi and share your thoughts. Or just keep lurking. Either way is cool. https://t.co/RjNDa8ngdY#ProDriven CC: @kennybosch#personalizedPD
A4: As a PD Coordinator, it has completely changed how I approach planning for PD for our system. While we continue to have aspects of traditional PD, we now ask what opportunities do we have for & in support of #PersonalizedPD built into our structures. #ProDriven
A4: It's led me to hosting a podcast, presenting with folks I didn't know, learning a ton, writing a book...all things that have impacted the work I do with teachers and administrators. Mostly, I just learn how much I still have to learn. #ProDriven#personalizedPD
John, I agree w/ what you are saying about how Twitter has fueled you to find ways to improve, there are so many things to learn from others and utilizing social networking like twitter allows us as educators to do that. I look forward to hearing more! #uwpsoe4020#personalizedPD
Being in Ag Ed includes the FFA Org in it's curriculum. This means teaching my students about PD as there are many events offered to compete in these areas. I want to continue to better my own #PersonalizedPD so that I can continue to improve theirs as well #uwpsoe4020#ProDriven

It was mandated that everyone self-assess and I only had to send 6 follow-up reminder emails. We have about 65 Ts in our HS. I think if it's tied into something like a promise of personalizing their PD it would definitely help. #personalizedPD#ProDriven
A1: In Ag Ed there are many opportunities for my student to get involved in PD events and competition. I want to have twitter as tool to not only better my #PersonalizedPD but to help my students improve as well. #uwpsoe4020#ProDriven
Bret, I agree with you, it is important to always find new ways to accommodate your followers when you are in a leadership position. Twitter is a good base because it offers a variety of ways to reach out and always learn more. #ProDriven#PersonalizedPD
John, I can relate to what you are saying. I am fairly new to Twitter and really new to chats but everything I am reading and learning is driving me to want to learn as much as possible and be the best teacher I can be. #personalizedPD#soeuwp4020
Brian, Thank you for your input. I too see how it is important to stop and check in with your self. Evaluation is a very key tool ensuring I'm on the right track. #ProDriven#PersonalizedPD#uwpsoe4020
A1: I show up to chats to learn more about the education community I feel there is so much to learn and twitter is a great free tool to use for that. I know that being on social media also helps connect with my students and I encourage them to join as well #personalizedPD
A5: Working on next steps as we continue alignment of district/building wide initiatives as we continue strategic planning and find our balance with Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships in support of the whole child. ProDriven #PersonalizedPD
Q5: Can you share what you've learned that you're enthusiastic about trying or what you're enthusiastic about learning next? Where will your #ProDriven journey take you next? #edtech#tosachat#LearnLAP
