@brettexplains nice to meet you Brett, welcome to the #FLedChat

MagicPantsJones Jan 20 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1 They're generally facillitated by admin or someone picked by admin on Weds afternoons. Also, occasional inservice days. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:09 PM EST

@inspiredAP Generally not. We spend half day with local PLC and then half day with school wide learning. #FLedChat

andersonnaomi2 Jan 20 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1: school level- grade level team time 3x per year. PD decided at school level w/ Teacher input #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:10 PM EST

.@mashupmath Tech Time Tuesdays is something I volunteer to do on my own time after school. #FLedChat

inspiredAP Jan 20 @ 8:10 PM EST

@MrPowersCMS what is tinker time? #FLedChat

FirstAtBat Jan 20 @ 8:10 PM EST

We were divided up some. Ts and TOSAs in the district submitted proposals prior to teach everything from AR to Twitter. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:11 PM EST

@MagicPantsJones @kmhmartin I've already told you to stop stressing over it. #FLedchat

MagicPantsJones Jan 20 @ 8:11 PM EST

I've occasionally hosted an afternoon chat called Snack & Share, where Ts come with ideas to share, and I bring lemonade/Oreos. #FLedChat

mashupmath Jan 20 @ 8:11 PM EST

@TG_Neil Very cool! They have a similar program in my district, but getting the right ppl there can be an issue. #fledchat

FirstAtBat Jan 20 @ 8:11 PM EST

We had 4 sessions, two in the AM and two in the PM. Best thing I have seen @CitrusSchools do for PD in a long time. #FLedChat

Techsimons Jan 20 @ 8:11 PM EST

Chosen by admin, teachers get X amount of $ per year for PD their choice, survey to try to accommodate desires for upcoming year. #FLEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:11 PM EST

.@FirstAtBat Yes, it was! I loved being able to interact through twitter from up north. #FLedChat

MrPowersCMS Jan 20 @ 8:11 PM EST

Variety of topics - wearable tech, sandbox type learning. Intro tools & then time to tinker/play #FLedChat https://t.co/Zbufqks4Fq

@MrPowersCMS what is tinker time? #FLedChat

MagicPantsJones Jan 20 @ 8:12 PM EST

@TG_Neil @kmhmartin I'm no longer stressing...I'm very mellow now. My purple pants are still ripped, though. #FLedChat

inspiredAP Jan 20 @ 8:12 PM EST

Q2: How is it determined which professional learning teachers participate in? #FLedChat #vcsmiddle

mashupmath Jan 20 @ 8:12 PM EST

@MagicPantsJones Great idea...aside from the excess sugar consumption lol. Ts can really benefit from informal PD! #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:12 PM EST

@mashupmath It's really more of an open door to a safe place to learn/practice. Sort of sandbox like. #FLedChat

kmhmartin Jan 20 @ 8:12 PM EST

@MagicPantsJones @TG_Neil Not the purple pants! #FLedChat

MagicPantsJones Jan 20 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2 Most afternoons, it's an all call for full staff... #FLedChat

FirstAtBat Jan 20 @ 8:13 PM EST

A2: At times we have choice, other times it is mandated based on district or school direction. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:13 PM EST

@MsVenturino Teachers. I teach tech to my students everyday. #FLedChat

mrdonnelly3 Jan 20 @ 8:13 PM EST

A2 There are surveys, and then school improvement goals, along with some personal choices mixed in #fledchat

MagicPantsJones Jan 20 @ 8:13 PM EST

@mashupmath I agree. Let's hear it for Guerrilla PD! #FLedChat

dkonopelko - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:13 PM EST

A2: We mostly concentrate on our 'coalition of the willing' or those who are starting/piloting a new program. #FLEdChat

Techsimons Jan 20 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2 depending on PD by skill level if possible. Some department, some all school. Some choice by participants.#FLEdChat

CoreyAppelbaum Jan 20 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2), hopefully like a choose your own ending book the teachers have a say in the path they take or it will be time to check email #fledchat

amybrowns Jan 20 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2 We have some ppl who are reqd ti do a lot of training bc they are the ones who are agreeable #FLedChat

MrPowersCMS Jan 20 @ 8:14 PM EST

#FLedChat required hours at site, required hours at district plus choice throughout the year. Lots of 1:1 & #pbl this year for us

BrookinsBits Jan 20 @ 8:14 PM EST

I wish I knew. I normally have to harass people to be included :( #FLedChat

Some of our PD days are specifically for practicing what new item we have learned or want to learn. #FLEdChat

A3: I have to admit, our admin are very welcoming to Ts implementing their PD and are more than willing to help #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3: Our Admin & District folks recognize the importance of supporting teachers as we grow on our own. #FLedChat

mrdonnelly3 Jan 20 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3 Ts have people to help support, but we need to ask. People who plan PD ask for feedback and provide next steps #fledchat

FirstAtBat Jan 20 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3: This is a weakness often. We do have follow up share sessions, sometimes this is a help. #Fledchat Need more coaching/mentoring

mashupmath Jan 20 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3: My admins are pretty good about supporting experimentation of new strategies in the classroom, which is crucial for T success. #fledchat

@BrookinsBits LOL! #fledchat You're the brains in this team!

A7: We have 2 meet the needs of our Ts, just like we meet the needs of our Ss. Everyone is in different places in their learning #FLedChat

FLRichter Jan 20 @ 8:52 PM EST

A7 Use tech as a tool 2 connect with other schools(like Heritage MS ;) ); use Twitter to create PLNs but neither are recognized PD #fledchat

MrPowersCMS Jan 20 @ 8:53 PM EST

#FLedChat another key is providing/embedding time for Ts to collaborate & learn w/ 1 another. Also, don't add 2 plate but remove the extras

mashupmath Jan 20 @ 8:53 PM EST

@CoreyAppelbaum My first reaction would always be "free food!...what kind?" lol #fledchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:53 PM EST

@inspiredAP So true #FLedChat

BrookinsBits Jan 20 @ 8:53 PM EST

@andersonnaomi2 I like the word, "team". Has a nice ring to it :) We DO work well together, yes? #fledchat

inspiredAP Jan 20 @ 8:54 PM EST

Q8: What specific professional learning do you feel middle level educators need? #FLedChat #vcsmiddle

inspiredAP Jan 20 @ 8:54 PM EST

This is what we need to move towards. It is a powerful tool for learning and personal growth #FLedChat https://t.co/vQtqZq6Lix

Someone mentioned @goswivl for PD.Ts video themselves and share. If interested, they will let you do a 30 day trial of the device. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:54 PM EST

.@FLRichter How do we change that? All #FLedChat 's are archived and can be used for documentation of participation. Reflection is easy.

brettexplains Jan 20 @ 8:54 PM EST

A7: Whiteboard and Air conditioning. #fledchat

A8: I think it should be specific to the school and its areas of need and long-term goals. #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:55 PM EST

A8: Honestly, we need the type of learning experience that allows us to know we aren't alone. #FLedChat

brettexplains Jan 20 @ 8:56 PM EST

A8: Collaborative workshops, and maybe more on thematic units #fledchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:56 PM EST

A8 I find it comical how we're always preaching differentiation for Ss where there's none for Ts. One size fits all doesn't work! #FLedChat

kmhmartin Jan 20 @ 8:56 PM EST

A8. This sums it up for me! #FLedChat https://t.co/dTsdwzQFIS

TG_Neil - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:56 PM EST

.@johnccarver I have to disagree with you. My Ss can and do amazing things with PowerPoint. Rarely a slide show. #FLedChat

mashupmath Jan 20 @ 8:56 PM EST

@Celeste_Clemons Preach!!! :) #fledchat

Michelle4EDU Jan 20 @ 8:56 PM EST

A8: vertical alignment to know where Ss were and where they are going. #FLedchat

BrookinsBits Jan 20 @ 8:56 PM EST

Can't believe how many are same boat. Listening to Ts at #Fetc, I was amazed to learn I wasn't alone #FLedChat https://t.co/NCiAsEHvAn

FLRichter Jan 20 @ 8:57 PM EST

@TG_Neil Districts need to see chats as valid;Ts must show app of Twitter chat;if Ts don't Twitter chats are not diff than sit/get #fledchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:57 PM EST

A8: We are preparing secondary Ts for Blended Learning by helping them implement learning stations, and small group learning. #FLedChat

raspberryberet3 Jan 20 @ 8:58 PM EST

A8: adolescent development/neuroscience. Pre-frontal cortex not fully formed til 20s; reason see impulsive behaviour in these Ss #FLedChat

inspiredAP Jan 20 @ 8:58 PM EST

@raspberryberet3 The understanding of the social/emotional development is key #FLedChat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:58 PM EST

@KristinCHarr Love it when secondary Ts implement small groups! #FLedChat

mashupmath Jan 20 @ 8:59 PM EST

Great chat everyone! So many insights and new ideas! I followed as many as I could :) #fledchat

BrookinsBits Jan 20 @ 8:59 PM EST

am noticing the time...oh no...#FLedChat

MrPowersCMS Jan 20 @ 8:59 PM EST

#FLedChat more on working with social/emotional, poverty, whole-child. We must meet Ss basic needs before pedagogy.

inspiredAP Jan 20 @ 8:59 PM EST

Thank you all for a great chat. VCS is greatful #FLedChat

FLRichter Jan 20 @ 8:59 PM EST

A8 often middle Ed are islands to themselves; elementary work collaboratively; middle must be open and willing; TRUST is key #fledchat

mashupmath Jan 20 @ 8:59 PM EST

@inspiredAP Thank you for moderating! I have to run. Thanks again everyone :) #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jan 20 @ 8:59 PM EST

@raspberryberet3 Agree! We've been doing neuroscience awareness even at the elm level. #fledchat
