A1 we've been doing a lot of turn around PD with discovery education! Great for the whole staff to see and take to Ss #APSCHATS

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: Choice, some aspect of "fun" if that makes any sense, and positive energy #APSCHATS

MollyMeck Mar 29 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2 I really like to hear about real world experiences. I appreciate time to practice and talk with colleagues #APSCHATS

LaraMacAPS Mar 29 @ 8:13 PM EDT

ANewDayLearning Mar 29 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: Choice is huge for effective PD. survey staff ahead of time to find out where they feel the needs are. #apschats

MsJaeckel Mar 29 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: Great PD meets/matches T needs. Providing resources & strategies Ts can use immediately for Ss success #APSChats

dredding_arlva Mar 29 @ 8:14 PM EDT

a2: I hope PD experiences engage people in something that pushes their thinking about learning forward. #APSChats

JoshPMcLaughlin - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2. PD that preserves teacher autonomy/mastery/purpose (Thanks to recent #APSCHAS moderator @danielpink) #APSChats

lilostep Mar 29 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2; I have to be able to see its relevance to my instruction and engaging Ss in meaningful learning. #APSCHATS

A2: Try to create PD that is MEANINGFUL & RELEVANT! https://t.co/BWKMsM8EFY #4OCF #APSCHATS https://t.co/jjLf8MlhkR

FabledFoxes Mar 29 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: if you're teaching cooperative learning but you're lecturing about it, that's undermining the message #APSCHATS

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@mspatricianhfb yesssss!! #NAA16 was amazing!! #APSCHATS

MsBarrettHFB Mar 29 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 sharing! We all learn from each other #APSCHATS

JoshPMcLaughlin - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@ANewDayLearning Yes and if you contact @MsMagiera & PLAYDATE organizers they will share resources/templates #APSChats

lsullivan Mar 29 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: Postive PD experience includes excitement/fun, groupwork & time for quiet reflection for processing how to implement w my Ss #APSchats

MsMagiera Mar 29 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Look out for Q3 in #APSCHATS - coming up in 2 min!

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Speaking of personalized PD- Spring #edcampnova on April 23rd at Marshall HS- https://t.co/IGDZWCLWCH @edcampnova #APSCHATS

coachpondkey Mar 29 @ 8:18 PM EDT

#APSCHATS sorry I'm missing this! Watching Generals play soccer and wi-fi spotty! @JoshPMcLaughlin

lilostep Mar 29 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@mspatricianhfb @edcampnova I'm looking forward to this. Will be my first time. I've already registered. #APSCHATS

MsJaeckel Mar 29 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: Choice & skill-set of "facilitator"! Also, moving past lecture style to be engaging & participatory w worth while take aways #APSChats

ANewDayLearning Mar 29 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@FabledFoxes YES!!! Funny (but not really) how often that happens! #APSCHATS

Some ideas for incorporating Twitter into PD! #4OCF #APSCHATS https://t.co/9O75VtS892

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A1. Conscious Discipline changed my life in handling problem solving (behavioral) opportunities with students. #APSCHATS

MsMagiera Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Q3 Where does PD tend to go wrong? #APSCHATS

FabledFoxes Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2: adult learners in PD benefit from same things younger learners do (e.g., visuals, movement) ... and there should be snacks #APSCHATS

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@lilostep Awesome! It's going to be great, we have a great planning team! #APSCHATS

JoshPMcLaughlin - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3.When Ts are not involved in planning, implementation and evaluation. #APSChats

LaraMacAPS Mar 29 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: Presenters lecturing. No movement. Wasting time on things that could be in an email. #APSChats

AndrewSharosAP Mar 29 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3 Herding faculty like cattle into a room and talking at them. PD should be interactive, practical and engaging #APSCHATS

AbingdonSTC Mar 29 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: Too much talk, not enough practice. Then, no feedback loop. That's a critical piece to learning and improving. #APSCHATS

lilostep Mar 29 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: PD that is "one size fits all" doesn't work for all. Ts need differentiation as much as Ss do. #APSCHATS

KristyManuel Mar 29 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@MsMagiera Thanks for the invite! Wish I could stay, but I'll have to plan for #APSCHATS next time. It's time to head home for me :)

LaraMacAPS Mar 29 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: When I have planned PD, I think, "would I want to participate in this?" Doesn't happen enough. #APSChats

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: Too much at one time, or "continuing the old" when there is a need for new, fresh ideas and ways to share #APSCHATS

RACzyz Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: PD modeled in ways that we wouldn't want to see used w/ students. If I expect to see it used w/ Ss, I should model it myself. #APSCHATS

dredding_arlva Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Ditto @JoshPMcLaughlin but also when it misses their "Zone of Proximal Development" #APSChats

MsJaeckel Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@FabledFoxes exactly! Practice what you preach! #APSChats

sullydatechie Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3 Little to no relevance, sage on the stage, very little interaction between attendees and facilitator #APSCHATS

knightsread Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Just joining. Q3. When PD is an information dump without time to process and is not relevant to your role. #APSCHATS

ANewDayLearning Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: IMHO, PD goes wrong when there is no choice, little staff buy in, but mostly when there is no follow through AFTER the PD! #APSCHATS

MsMagiera Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@JoshPMcLaughlin so true! Ts should be central in planning PD - just as Ss should be at the center of instructional planning! #APSCHATS

LaraMacAPS Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@RACzyz EXACTLY!!! #APSChats

RACzyz Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: One and done. #APSCHATS

MsMagiera Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@KristyManuel thanks for joining for a bit! #APSCHATS

lsullivan Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3 PD tends to go wrong when you squeeze too much into a 2 hour PD #APSchats #WhatMattersMost

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Q2. Time to collaborate with colleagues on ways to implement & incorporate ideas. #APSCHATS

coachpondkey Mar 29 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Feedback for teachers and students..critical piece to reflective practice. #APSCHATS https://t.co/8A5HO42AYC

AbingdonSTC Mar 29 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: Too much talk, not enough practice. Then, no feedback loop. That's a critical piece to learning and improving. #APSCHATS

MollyMeck Mar 29 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3 When T's have no input into the why, what or where? PD needs to be meaningful, and in big city school districts, most PD isn't #APSCHATS

lilostep Mar 29 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@mspatricianhfb Agreed. Ts need time to process and reflect on how IT would look in your own unique instructional style.#APSCHATS

MsBarrettHFB Mar 29 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3 no choice or differentiation. PD like you teach! #APSCHATS

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@LaraMacAPS I'm presenting to college Ss about Twitter this Fri, & that's the thing I thought about the whole time I was planning! #APSCHATS

MsMagiera Mar 29 @ 8:29 PM EDT

Q4 How have you seen students effectively used in PD settings? #APSCHATS

Can only think of student work being used in PD, not students. #APSChats

dredding_arlva Mar 29 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A4: I love when @TCRWP uses classrooms as "lab sites" for t's to try strategies they are learning to implement with S's! #APSChats

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@suzi_west1 Haha I could Periscope it possibly...I'm presenting at my alma mater in NJ. 3:20 PM on Friday #APSCHATS

JoshPMcLaughlin - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A4. I like how Ts College writing workshop lab work allows Ts to practice new skills in context with feedback/support #APSChats

lilostep Mar 29 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A4: Yes. @kennedycenter #CETA training used Ss to demonstrate how tableau would be used in the classroom. Great experience. #APSCHATS

RACzyz Mar 29 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4: Ss presenting apps/tech resources during Appy Hour! Brief overview, then extended lesson for those interested in learning more #APSCHATS

ANewDayLearning Mar 29 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4: at #TIES2016 students showed their tech projects and the learning process they went through #APSCHATS

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4. Cultural competency facilitator training included a panel of minority Ss. It was awesome. #APSCHATS

sullydatechie Mar 29 @ 8:31 PM EDT

TCEA2016 genius hour discussion had kids talk about their experiences...awesome! #APSCHATS

MollyMeck Mar 29 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4 I brought my 1stgraders to a staff meeting so that they could show our staff how we were using Ipads in the classroom #APSCHATS

FabledFoxes Mar 29 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4: Our #TCRWP staff developer always takes us into a classroom "lab site" where were try out what we've learned with students #APSCHATS

julieblack1025 Mar 29 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A4 No, but I think it would be very beneficial.#APSCHATS

MsJaeckel Mar 29 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A4: Use Ss as experts & fascilitators. @AbingdonGIFT has showcases setup like speed dates w Ss sharing learning processes #APSChats

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@mspatricianhfb So I can't go to NJ? Ha ha! #APSCHATS

MsMagiera Mar 29 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@MollyMeck love this! Any time students are at a staff meeting I immediately sit up and listen. :) #APSCHATS

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A4: My music together training included a demo class with Ss and Ps- it really brought the whole experience to life! #APSCHATS

ANewDayLearning Mar 29 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@suzi_west1 I bet that was very powerful! #APSCHATS

MsBarrettHFB Mar 29 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A4 Jan Richardson came to our school and pulled in students to model GR. After Ts shared thoughts/concerns and problem solved #APSCHATS

MsMagiera Mar 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Q5 What is your favorite online educational professional resource? #APSCHATS

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4. Never in extended day. Our meetings are during the school day. #APSCHATS

lilostep Mar 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4: My #CETA arts coach even used my students to help other Ts see how Ss engage in tableau to deepen content understanding. #APSCHATS

ANewDayLearning Mar 29 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@RACzyz I want to try this in my district #APSCHATS

Q6 How can we encourage more educators to get connected digitally and participate in virtual PLNs? #APSCHATS

dredding_arlva Mar 29 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A6: Release them from other responsibilities and provide the time - then value it. #APSChats

LaraMacAPS Mar 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A6: Continue what we are doing and show them the results! The engagement and learning prove it works. #APSChats

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A6: Our schools Twitter contests have gotten a lot of Ts motivated to learn more #APSCHATS

MsBarrettHFB Mar 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A5 @mspatricianhfb offers amazing rewards for staff to participate! #APSCHATS

MsJaeckel Mar 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@lilostep @APSKenmore We're not fully loaded w SMART. Focus on #1:1ipads. Either way, would love to come visit & collaborate! #APSCHATS

sullydatechie Mar 29 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A6 give them pd credit for participating in online pd. #APSCHATS

lilostep Mar 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A6: Ts are varied in their tech/digital readiness. Need to model and show benefits in our own practice. Then they'll join in. #APSCHATS

RACzyz Mar 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@MsJaeckel @knightsread Start small! Grass roots! Organize a voluntary mini-edcamp after skl Prove effectiveness Show a better way #APSCHATS

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A6. Great question. We don't have the technology/support/PD in extended day to support digital learning/PLCs. #APSCHATS

RACzyz Mar 29 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A6: We have done book studies via Twitter and Voxer! #APSCHATS

JoshPMcLaughlin - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A6. At Barrett, we reframed committee meetings as personalized learning time and gave 10 hours back to Ts to pursue own interests #APSChats

ANewDayLearning Mar 29 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A6: Allow time for Exploring. Offer choice of times for the pd. make it valuable #APSCHATS

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@mspatricianhfb I'd love to know more about the contests you do. #APSCHATS

julieblack1025 Mar 29 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A6 Total Immersion-worked for me. Ts need time to explore and connect, other duties need to be reduced. #APSCHATS

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@suzi_west1 Happy to chat sometime :) #apschats

MsBarrettHFB Mar 29 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6 share student work! Let Ts see the results. Students are so much more capable then some of us give them credit for! #APSCHATS

JTGrant81 Mar 29 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6. As more students choose to participate in networked learning, greater numbers of educators will be pulled in. #APSCHATS

MollyMeck Mar 29 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6 I think teachers who are not on twitter are missing out. And I just keep letting people know how it has changed my practice. #APSCHATS

ANewDayLearning Mar 29 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@mspatricianhfb can you share some details of how it worked? #APSCHATS

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6. Sadly many "leaders" don't see the value yet. Hard to sell. #APSCHATS

MollyMeck Mar 29 @ 8:48 PM EDT

It is hard when admins don't see the value! #APSCHATS https://t.co/jJnGFV1W2c

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6. Sadly many "leaders" don't see the value yet. Hard to sell. #APSCHATS

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:48 PM EDT

Yes please Molly! @mspatricianhfb #APSCHATS https://t.co/fve56uL5gS

ANewDayLearning Mar 29 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@mspatricianhfb can you share some details of how it worked? #APSCHATS

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@ANewDayLearning Last yr- Ts earned pts for using #hfbtweets & other unique hashtags/handles. Each team competed/earned prize #APSCHATS

RACzyz Mar 29 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@suzi_west1 Ask leaders to take over one staff meeting and try one of these. Show them a better way! #APSCHATS #4OCF https://t.co/my9CAMlPqR

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@ANewDayLearning This yr it's based on individual Ts and there's a raffle for gift cards each month #apschats I think last yrs worked better

MsJaeckel Mar 29 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A6: Value & honor Ts time, then lead by example! Share successes & failures in experiences. Offer guidance & place to get started #APSChats

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@lilostep @APSKenmore @ANewDayLearning It was INCREDIBLY effective! Food and release time motivated Ts #APSCHATS

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@mspatricianhfb @ANewDayLearning So you tally with the #? Does tweet deck do that or do you manually do that? #APSCHATS

MsMagiera Mar 29 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Final question in #APSCHATS coming up in 1 minute!

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@lilostep @APSKenmore @ANewDayLearning Also just the pure competition was motivation enough for most #APSCHATS

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Great idea @RACzyz . Thanks! #APSCHATS https://t.co/l23HQOu1D0

RACzyz Mar 29 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@suzi_west1 Ask leaders to take over one staff meeting and try one of these. Show them a better way! #APSCHATS #4OCF https://t.co/my9CAMlPqR

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@suzi_west1 @ANewDayLearning Hahaha I manually do it. It's extra work, but worth it to get Ts involved #APSCHATS

MsMagiera Mar 29 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Q7 If you could wave a magic wand - and time/money weren't barriers, what type of PD would you design for yourself & colleagues? #APSCHATS

MollyMeck Mar 29 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7 I would visit all of your classrooms #APSCHATS

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@mspatricianhfb @ANewDayLearning Gotcha! #APSCHATS

JaimeDonally Mar 29 @ 8:53 PM EDT

dredding_arlva Mar 29 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A7: I'm a big fan of coaching/lab site models-what better than someone guiding your assessment and reflection during teaching? #APSChats

RACzyz Mar 29 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A7: Working on innovation lab now! Chance for Ts to get together to create think share collaborate make problem-solve & learn! #APSCHATS

LaraMacAPS Mar 29 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A7: A choice of twitter chats. Honestly, I learn so much from these. #APSChats

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@mspatricianhfb Might see if my director would go for that. I'll have time to tally bc I'll be done w/ M. Ed. In Sept. #APSCHATS

MsBarrettHFB Mar 29 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A7 I'd wave my HP wand and visit classrooms all of over the county! #APSCHATS

sullydatechie Mar 29 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A6 Experiential learning!! live it! Go to incredible places and learn from amazing ppl #APSCHATS

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A7. PD on apps to use in extended day with kids that are fun, interactive, creative, and have academic tie ins. #APSCHATS

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A7: I'd go to @GoogleForEdu headquarters to learn more about #gafe and how they're being implemented in classrooms! #APSCHATS

suzi_west1 Mar 29 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@LaraMacAPS You should facilitate a Twitter chat. You learn a lot that way, too! #APSCHATS

ANewDayLearning Mar 29 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A7: I would want it to be highly personal, small groups, with time for follow up and reflection after. . #APSCHATS

knightsread Mar 29 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@JoshPMcLaughlin This sounds very powerful! I bet teachers got a lot out of this approach. #APSCHATS

MsJaeckel Mar 29 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A7: Provide opportunities for Ts to observe variety of classes w debrief & team planning w coaching ie See-Talk-Plan-Execute #APSChats

ANewDayLearning Mar 29 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A7: Time with a coach later on to help with implementation of new ideas #APSCHATS

mspatricianhfb Mar 29 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@suzi_west1 @LaraMacAPS I agree! #APSCHATS

julieblack1025 Mar 29 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A7 Tailored made PD for myself and colleagues. Twitter PD where I get to talk with the experts! #APSCHATS

MsJaeckel Mar 29 @ 8:58 PM EDT

Thank you everyone for joining us tonight on #APSCHATS! Hope you made some new connections and gained some fun new ideas!

LaraMacAPS Mar 29 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@suzi_west1 @mspatricianhfb I'll think about it. Nights are a little unpredictable here (K and 2 yo). #APSChats

MsMagiera Mar 29 @ 8:59 PM EDT

Loving all the "dream PD" ideas coming from Q7 on #APSCHATS! Surprised there aren't more requests for #edtechcruise though ;)!

JoshPMcLaughlin - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:59 PM EDT
