  • ash_helms Mar 29 @ 9:41 PM EDT

  • ash_helms Mar 29 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A1: (part 2) when choosing specific sessions and activities I look for authors and educators who either have a great track record, or are sharing their real experience that connects to something I am workin on. #K12ArtChat
  • HES_Artists Mar 29 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    Q1..When our district does PD several of our own art teachers lead the PD. We discuss some ideas and then we volunteer. Also my school has PD taught by our own teachers throughout the school year. It is nice to have PD u can put into action. #k12ArtChat
  • GrundlerArt - Moderator Mar 29 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    This is big as leaders we tend to think about what will most benefit our teachers but we need to feed our practice too! #k12ArtChat

    #K12ArtChat hello from Birmingham AL! (On our way to Orange Beach for spring break!)
  • joycschultz Mar 29 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    #K12ArtChat A2 What makes PD meaningful is: if it transforms my thinking, builds a new skill, adds more to my practice, and growth as a person/educator.
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Mar 29 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A1: most I choose what interests me. #K12ArtChat

    In reply to @Artguy76
  • artsmart64 Mar 29 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A1: I choose PD that provides growth for myself as an art educator & that will have a direct impact on choices I make for growth in my curriculum- new ideas/mediums/techniques to intro to my Ss #k12artchat
  • HES_Artists Mar 29 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    Q2..I think PD is meaningful when you learn and thrn are able to put it in action right away. #k12ArtChat
  • ArtTeacherJa9 Mar 29 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A2: What makes PD meaningful is when I can envision putting it into practice in my own classroom and am excited to share it with colleagues. #k12artchat
  • ArtLadyHBK Mar 29 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A1 I’m taking a three day watercolor still life class this week to nurture my inner artist #K12ArtChat #SpringBreak

    In reply to @LauraLaQuaglia, @joycschultz, @naea18
  • MRidlen Mar 29 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A2: knowing my Ts and their needs/personalities, understanding what concerns and skills are applicable in the moment, having a deeper personal connection to the content or getting to know that connection from my Ts POV. #k12artchat
    In reply to @k12artchat
  • artwithmslopez Mar 29 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A2: What makes professional development meaningful to me is how the time is being used to present information, what interaction is occurring with the attendees, & honestly...free resources. PD isn't the same without FREE STUFF! Sharing should be fluid! Like this #k12artchat :)
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Mar 29 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    It was fun, now we just have to meet up more often in TX! Glad you are here. #K12ArtChat
    In reply to @TerraFormaCards
  • GrundlerArt - Moderator Mar 29 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A2: I think meaningful is a matter of perspective - meaningful to me might be very different than a peer. Relevant, connected to my current goals, etc. - in art a lot of people think that PD has to involve “making” - curious your thoughts on this? #K12ArtChat
  • dewestudio Mar 29 @ 9:47 PM EDT

  • ArtLadyHBK Mar 29 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    #a2 I think about my own needs and those of students before seeking PD - success is finding dynamic speakers or sessions that target those specific needs! #K12ArtChat
  • MrQArt Mar 29 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A2: PD is meaningful to when I can use what I've learned in the classroom straightaway. Though I make sure I apply what I learned as soon as I can. I've read where you let it "pass" for a week, it becomes useless. #k12artchat
  • ash_helms Mar 29 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A2: Opportinities for reflection, connection and application make PL great! Also important for the content to be relevant and the process to be applicable! #k12ArtChat
  • LauraLaQuaglia Mar 29 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A2: Meaningful PD meets a need. Helps you where you are at and pushes you further. It makes you think and want to keep going. #k12artchat
  • thelmagrace Mar 29 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A2 when it enriches my life, I enjoy it or I am learning new techniques/materials /project ideas that I can directly infuse into my current and future lessons #k12artchat
  • GrundlerArt - Moderator Mar 29 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    Love this! It’s always great when you can immediately start the wheels turing and planning #K12ArtChat
    In reply to @ArtTeacherJa9
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Mar 29 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A2: When you can bring back one idea, the leads into many other ideas. #K12ArtChat
  • art_inklings Mar 29 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A2 I think PD is meaningful if it expands my way of thinking about things, then that can effect my classroom practice #K12ArtChat
  • ash_helms Mar 29 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A2: Opportunities for reflection, connection and application make PL great! Also important for the content to be relevant and the process to be applicable! #k12ArtChat #k12ArtChat

  • TerraFormaCards Mar 29 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A2: applicability is crucial. People don’t want to change pedagogical believes overnight… They need something for class tomorrow.#K12ArtChat
  • MRidlen Mar 29 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    I actually don’t like making in PD b/c it feels contrived and rushed. Showing me a technique is one thing, but I don’t want to be rushed into making on the spot. However, I know for many this is a very important part of the experience. #K12ArtChat
    In reply to @GrundlerArt
  • GrundlerArt - Moderator Mar 29 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    RT........Q3........How do you tie PD to your professional goals? #K12ArtChat

  • joycschultz Mar 29 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    #k12artchat A3 Professional Goals Connect 2PD- I always have moving targets and sometimes I get opportunities and other times I need to seek out my own. I am very reflective in my practice.
  • ArtLadyHBK Mar 29 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    We set yearly Professional and PD goals each year in my district. Our school has a focus for us all to share together- for example: trauma informed learning or literacy #K12ArtChat #a3
  • artsmart64 Mar 29 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A3: I think sometimes the PD sets the goals....if I come across an opportunity to learn something new I set a goal to learn about it-immerse myself in the process & bring it into my curriculum #k12artchat
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Mar 29 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    Of course! The #K12ArtChat Meet up was full of SWAG!
    In reply to @artwithmslopez
  • TerraFormaCards Mar 29 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    Q3: I think one influences the other! Professional goals affect what professional learning you attend… PL helps adjust professional goals #K12ArtChat
  • ash_helms Mar 29 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A3:I like making a “to learn list” rather than a “to-do list”. It is about identifying gaps between where you are and filling in the Learning you need to reach your goal. #K12ArtChat
  • GrundlerArt - Moderator Mar 29 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A3: currating you PD so that it ties to your goals and then purposefully reflecting and collecting artifacts - I use my #visualjournal #K12ArtChat
  • MrQArt Mar 29 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A3: I make sure subject specific PD is one of my goals every year. It also helps my administrators remember that the art teacher needs PD too! Haha #K12ArtChat

    I love that you use your journal. Great way to model that artifacts and evidence of PL should be part of the process-not something manufactured after the fact! #k12ArtChat #authenticity
    In reply to @GrundlerArt
  • MRidlen Mar 29 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A3: I sometimes need PD (like #naea18) to help jumpstart my 🤔 about what my goals should be. Being able to hear new ideas, or see new concepts in action can be inspiring. Other times, my S/A goals tie in to being the one presenting #K12artchat

    A3: I tie my professional goals to PD by anticipating what PD I'll be interested in, and what general area that falls in. Right now mine are technology, create PLCs with middle school art teachers, & strategies to check for understanding. #K12ArtChat

    A4: PD that makes you think is the best kind! There lots to learn from reflection. Balance PD between the doing and reflecting to find meaning. #k12artchat
  • joycschultz Mar 29 @ 10:02 PM EDT
    #k12artchat Mining for the nuggets of knowledge to push my teaching practice. Requires blogging, reading, tweetchats, and FB forum discussions.
  • artwithmslopez Mar 29 @ 10:03 PM EDT
    A4: I build reflection in to my ongoing PD first by taking notes in a @moleskine during any PD or meeting. Maybe it's a kinetic/visual learning thing, but the experience of me internalizing info makes reflecting more relative. I go through a journal every year. #K12ArtChat
  • artsmart64 Mar 29 @ 10:03 PM EDT
    A4: reflection is actually in the Ss response to new practices/ideas/project ideas- the ability to reflect on the PD comes after implementation & critique of the process #K12ArtChat
  • TerraFormaCards Mar 29 @ 10:03 PM EDT
    Q4: reflection is all too often overlooked… Both by our students, and sadly by us as professionals! Reflection internal assessment are intrinsically crucial #K12ArtChat
  • MrQArt Mar 29 @ 10:03 PM EDT
    A4: I have a "notebook" in my notes app where everything from the PD is plus my personal reflection. I refer to these often. #K12ArtChat
  • GrundlerArt - Moderator Mar 29 @ 10:03 PM EDT
    I can relate to this!!! #K12ArtChat
    In reply to @artwithmslopez, @moleskine
  • MRidlen Mar 29 @ 10:04 PM EDT
    A4: I take notes and journal that I review shortly thereafter and also write reflection journals. This question makes me start to think about how I should embed it into my presentations though. Hmm... #k12artchat

    A4 I’m keeping a journal this year. Hadn’t done that before #K12ArtChat
  • HES_Artists Mar 29 @ 10:04 PM EDT
    A4...journaling and looking at how what you learned works in the classroom. #K12ArtChat
  • ash_helms Mar 29 @ 10:04 PM EDT
    A4: Be intentional, make a plan...set a time aside to reflect BEFORE you attend a session or conference...#K12ArtChat
  • ash_helms Mar 29 @ 10:04 PM EDT
    A4: (part 2) Find someone who will reflect with you and hold each other accountable to finding ways to apply your learning! #K12ArtChat
  • MrQArt Mar 29 @ 10:05 PM EDT
    A4: Oh and I make sure admin knows, at least a bit, about about how useful the PD was so, again, they remember in the future. Just a simple chat is enough and I mention it again during goal meetings. #K12ArtChat

    A4 I love taking notes-it h3lps solidify the most important points. I always share out with my colleagues #k12artchat
  • Jessbecker01 Mar 29 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    A2: Professional development is meaningful when I can walk away and feel inspired by it. Sometimes a little enthusiasm goes a long way. #k12artchat
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Mar 29 @ 10:08 PM EDT

    #K12ArtChat A5 This year @NAEA I went to sessions that leaned a little out of my comfort zone to see if I was needing to add something else into my bag of tricks. It was enlightening.
  • artsmart64 Mar 29 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    A5: my most meaningful PD is taking all day art classes in NYC w/contemporary mixed media artists -hands on -art making all day- sharing their techniques-processes-new art products- working w/other artists from all different art fields #K12ArtChat
  • ash_helms Mar 29 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    A5: I went to a session I thought would be a review for me, without much new info, but my brain was on fire with the simple explanations and refined facilitation. Helped me think through some places where I have been stuck. It is ok to revisit old learning. #K12ArtChat
  • GrundlerArt - Moderator Mar 29 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    A5: @naea #naea18 @mbellart and @dmodler had a great presentation about collaborative abstract art that I found to be so applicable - going to use it with our #pisdcreatesart teachers #K12ArtChat
  • Jessbecker01 Mar 29 @ 10:11 PM EDT
    Q5: I recently saw a "Creative Edge" lecture with Dr. Robert Duke. He was entertaining and had a lot of good advice on teaching the arts. #k12artchat
  • MRidlen Mar 29 @ 10:11 PM EDT

    A5 #naea2018. Was terrific. Chihuly glass garden was enriching, a favorite session was my last one on Sat presented by Amy Bulent @artfulartsyamy #k12artchat
  • MrQArt Mar 29 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    A5: Not a art related one, but I was part of a school accrediting team. To me I learned A LOT about many aspects of a school. One of the best PDs I've had. #K12ArtChat
  • TerraFormaCards Mar 29 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    Q5: the session we hosted at #NAEA18 turned into a fun round table ideation discussion. Nothing better than collaborating with creative professionals and colleagues #K12ArtChat
  • rstachon Mar 29 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A5 Some real relevant art ed PD is happening w/ @Ilaea Webinars! #K12ArtChat
  • artwithmslopez Mar 29 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A5: A recent PD was at @NJEA this past Nov. Forgot the presenter since I took the handout out of my journal grrr lol.. It was integrating Drama in the classroom. Free-writing exercises, collaboration, instant feedback, movement, & deep personal sharing. #K12ArtChat
  • art_inklings Mar 29 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A5 It May not be an official PD, but reading a couple of books - Teach Like a Pirate and Growth Mindset really made me think about the classroom differently #K12ArtChat
  • Artguy76 - Moderator Mar 29 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A5: This past @NAEA was amazing. More than just a PD. #K12ArtChat
  • joycschultz Mar 29 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    #k12artchat A6 I loved ISTE but it's $$$. NAEA is great but I am needing more...Wondering if it is because of my years of experience. I may need to seek other PD opportunities.

  • LauraLaQuaglia Mar 29 @ 10:15 PM EDT
    A5: sometimes leaning toward the PD you need, but not the PD you want is most beneficial. Stretches where you need it. PD isn’t always fun, it can be uncomfortable at first. #k12artchat
  • artsmart64 Mar 29 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    A6: @naea of course is an AMAZING experience w/so many learning opportunities w/so many new ideas/lots of connections .....artofed online conferences have also been a fav for expanding product/project ideas #K12ArtChat

  • artwithmslopez Mar 29 @ 10:17 PM EDT

    A6: I’m a #NAEA junkie. I have a few presenters I like to see every year to hear how their thinking/practice is evolving. But I have been going so long I have had to rethink how I approach it and what my goals are when I go. #K12ArtChat

    I love how I can connect with other art educators via Twitter but some of my faves are still uncomfortable with it as a conversation medium. I wonder if that could be a new topic for #K12artchat? A slow chat maybe...?
