    #30DaysofGratitude continues on this 7th day and I am a #gratefuledu because of the many educators I know who focus their teaching in these ways and help our students to change the world! #bfc530 #KidsDeserveIt #JoyfulLeaders #tlap #teachers #k12

  • franziski123 Nov 7 @ 5:32 AM EST
    Our district provided us with the Skillful Teacher training. It provided me with great strategies and resources. I still will open up that book when lesson planning and I took the training nearly 5 years ago. #bfc530

  • lethajhenry Nov 7 @ 5:33 AM EST
    Taking courses through @Self_Reg has helped me understand the difference between stress behaviour and misbehaviour. That knowledge has made a huge impact on my teaching, parenting & the amount of compassion I am able to extend to myself and others in challenging times. #bfc530
  • MrTravisDrake Nov 7 @ 5:33 AM EST
    We all need to be educationally fed differently. The key is acknowledging where you need to be lifted up and finding a resource that will fill that need. #bfc530

    Fierce Conversations! Everyone can benefit from this workshop, in that it provides a means to have those tough conversations, the deeper ones that really help get to the matter of things! #bfc530 It improves communication 👍
  • bohndrake Nov 7 @ 5:33 AM EST
    Any workshop that @barrykid1 or @Glennr1809 had anything to do with has been life-changing. That phrase is way overused but I could not mean it more. #bfc530

    I love all of the free webinars/summits put on by @DitchThatTxtbk and @jmattmiller. Ideas I can use immediately. I also watch out for what @AMLE has on offer because it’s so MS focused. Joined the 40hTW with @Angela_Watson this year & am finding it powerful #bfc530
  • MsCommins205 Nov 7 @ 5:35 AM EST
    #bfc530 Since I began life as an unmotivated student, I empathize. When you get to know students' interests, you have bridged that gap. We have all sat in a class where we felt disconnected. Tap into that memory.

    We are looking for a speaker for our summer state principals conference. Looking for ideas. Any suggestions? #bfc530

    Recently I presented in Alaska (!!) and spent some quality time with two #rockstar presenters. They are awesome presenters. They are even more awesome people. Thank you @BethHouf and @Wes_Kieschnick for being life-changers. Not just me. Many educators. #bfc530

    Happy Wednesday #bfc530 It is an early release day for the kids ... PD afternoon for staff. Get to Skype with @leeannb78 class in Spain at 9:10 ... a bit excited about that.
  • edu_ivers Nov 7 @ 5:36 AM EST
    I know, hard to believe how good the quality is, even in a 15 minute chat. I’ve noticed colleges and universities getting their education students to tap into it, especially preservice teacher programs. #bfc530

  • kmichellehowell Nov 7 @ 5:37 AM EST
    I still love, however, the @EdcampUSA model of professional learning. I love to learn informally and I always learn something when I attend. Plus, it’s more social, and I love meeting and talking with other educators. #bfc530

    And at conferences - @rickwormeli2 for sure, you can’t miss his wisdom. @Beyond_the_Desk will always give you immediate takeaways. @TechNinjaTodd spoke to our faculty and was inspirational. Would love to have an actual workshop with any of them #bfc530
  • kathyiwanicki Nov 7 @ 5:39 AM EST

    In reply to @TCMSPrincipal, @smgaillard
  • CoachKCullen Nov 7 @ 5:39 AM EST
    My view of PD has changed from my opinion of what is the best, to understanding we are each different. Some like the large "party" atmosphere of learning while others like me want to curl in a corner on our own. Differentiated, right? #bfc530

    I go back to @HalBowman ... His Teach Like a Rock Star message is very similar to @burgessdave and #TLAP in that it is a reminder of the magnitude of what we are doing ... It is ALL ABOUT THE KIDS. #bfc530

  • kmurfitt1 Nov 7 @ 5:41 AM EST
    Instead of thinking of taking just one PD session, I would love to invite you to explore the #CoP available @participate. You can join in with like minded educators, share resources and discuss topics. And you can take courses in your area of interest. #BFC530

    For me, small informal PD like edcamps and twitter chats like #bfc530 turn my gears for improving my craft than a speaker. I like the interaction of thought (Even if I don't say a word, I get to see what others think) that is often lost in a large group setting. #bfc530

    When I was a new teacher, my principal requested that everyone in my school take a course called @SkillfulTeach. It changed my practice by allowing me to name experiences & skills of teaching and talk about them in concrete ways. Still use what I learned 12 years later. #bfc530

    It is our obligation as educators to continue to learn and grow. #bfc530

      When it comes to professional development, it is sad to think how many teachers refuse to grow their craft through any outlet. #bfc530

    EdCamps. Take charge of your learning. I’m also a big fan of NCTM conferences. @LearningSTL has a whole bunch of “unconferences” and different PD free for the STL area!! #bfc530

    "I wonder the reason(s) that some educators do not seek Professional Development opportunities." Makes you wonder about what their true commitment to students really is? To me, it says that they are just there to collect a paycheck. #bfc530
