Q1: How do we make sure PD is planned to reflect organizational goals? #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:05 PM EDT

@shawlamy1991 Hi Amy - glad to have you here tonight #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:05 PM EDT

@GMThomore What!!!!! Central NJ - me too. Where are you from? #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:05 PM EDT

@wernedat hi Elisa glad you are here with us tonight #ATChat

bcdtech Apr 20 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1 Is that what PD is supposed to do? #ATchat

bcdtech Apr 20 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1 Most of the time organizational goals are too general to plan PD around. #ATchat

wernedat Apr 20 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: choose topics off of needs inventory & in line with vision statements. don't give PD to people on things they don't care about. #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:07 PM EDT

we would hope that our PD is aligned with program / org goals #ATchat https://t.co/OWgHyNBImP

bcdtech Apr 20 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1 Is that what PD is supposed to do? #ATchat

bcdtech Apr 20 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1 Vision statements are too general to base PD on IMHO #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Throughout #ATchat make sure to share any resources you have related to effective PD. #togetherwearebetter

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@bcdtech can they give us some type of starting point? #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Must read book: @presentationzen by Garr Reynolds. Powerful info. I re-read this book often #Atchat

bcdtech Apr 20 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1 PD should address current student/teacher needs #ATchat

shawlamy1991 Apr 20 @ 8:10 PM EDT

#atchat A1 I always survey but am also looking to start using the flipped classroom model.

MRHS_Principal Apr 20 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: as we provide choice for what Ss learn, PD should allow for choice in what Ts want to learn! #atchat

bcdtech Apr 20 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@shawlamy1991 Using flipped model for teachers? #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@MRHS_Principal Hey Cory! Thx for joining #ATchat Cory does amazing work at his HS & was part of our team for #spedcampNJ last wknd

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@bcdtech @shawlamy1991 Interesting idea. How are you planning to roll that out? #ATchat

wernedat Apr 20 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@bcdtech A1 - depends on which vision - departmental, then they could cut to the core - not a school board or exec board vision one #atchat

bcdtech Apr 20 @ 8:12 PM EDT

I like the idea of using cohort models for PD- take areas of interest and needs and form cohort to work on this #ATchat

GMThomore Apr 20 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@mmatp I feel small, more intimate group sizes/a classroom setting for PD sessions helps keep me engaged & informed #ATchat

MRHS_Principal Apr 20 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Forgot hashtag: #ATchat https://t.co/7TEVgtHuGc

MRHS_Principal Apr 20 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@mmatp Thanks Mike, but out Ts and Ss do the amazing work. Glad to be here

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@bcdtech yes. create small PD "working groups" to allow people to own their PD #ATchat

bcdtech Apr 20 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@wernedat Yes, that can work- the generic vision/mission statements I see are pretty much the same #ATchat

wernedat Apr 20 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@bcdtech we do this in our system - forming PD communities based on interest. much more buy-in #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Q2: Talk about teaching strategies you use during a PD event #atchat

bcdtech Apr 20 @ 8:15 PM EDT

I generally survey and then go deeper with those who choose to follow thru #ATchat

A2: I meet with small groups and try to have my pd be as hands on as possible #ATchat

mamajfreed Apr 20 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Building PD that uses remote coaching to extend learning & build team capacity has embedded theory into practice for us #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@mamajfreed Good idea. Are remote coaches part of your team or outside professionals? #ATchat

shawlamy1991 Apr 20 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 hands on pd if they don't try it and play they won't use it #ATchat

bcdtech Apr 20 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@mamajfreed well said! #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:30 PM EDT

Q4: How can we leverage social media & other resources to increase opportunities for learning? #atchat

bcdtech Apr 20 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3 Make sure your info is current, I get tired of hearing the same things over and over #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3: I like to incorporate #edcamp style sharing in all sessions. Give everyone time to just talk & share #Atchat

bcdtech Apr 20 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4: The teachers at my school do not use social media for learning at all. foreign concept for them #ATchat

mamajfreed Apr 20 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@mmatp Just used that YouTube video by T. Rose to drive home the need to plan for ALL not average -great UDL illustration. #ATchat

MRHS_Principal Apr 20 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4: We need not leverage, but get others to embrace social media as a free quick PD tool. 15 mins trolling twitter I find lots #ATchat

eyeonaxs Apr 20 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@wernedat Also model good presentation practices. Slides w/ good visuals/colors/legible text. #atchat

MRHS_Principal Apr 20 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@eyeonaxs Sure I agree there should be some, but when learners choose and design the learning, more learning takes place. #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:38 PM EDT

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A6: I ask participants to complete some type of project after PD. Then we can celebrate implementation of ideas #ATchat

bcdtech Apr 20 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A6 we send out surveys... but not really effective for feedback/stickiness #ATchat

eyeonaxs Apr 20 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@mmatp Let’s save our #atchat peeps some money. Here is Presentation Zen as a video: https://t.co/cF545ox9tg.

@mmatp @TodaysMeet is a great way to add a backchannel for those who are shy. #atchat

mamajfreed Apr 20 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A6: That's just it - the PD learning shouldn't stop but lead to implementation with support before it "ends". #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:54 PM EDT
