    How weird is it to say 5th grade? It's taken you how many years to get from 3rd to 5th? Will they let you move to middle school one day? #jcpschat

  • Eslville Feb 19 @ 8:10 PM EST
    A1. I am passionate about finding researched based learning. I was so excited about being able to talk directly to @Jechev and @Larryferlazzo directly on twitter and get their input to find new resources. Also CAL and @ColorinColorado for my ESL scholars. #jcpschat
  • Brown_Principal Feb 19 @ 8:10 PM EST
    A1. I find amazing resources from Twitter - when I read a book I love, I follow the author! @BIEpbl has great tools, too. The @JCPSDL office can also point you in the right direction. #jcpschat
  • MrsBischof_JCPS Feb 19 @ 8:10 PM EST
    A1: #KYGoDigital YouTube channel, Twitter, and good ‘ole PD Central #JCPSchat
  • RobFulk Feb 19 @ 8:10 PM EST
    A1- pick district resource brains- @PDLcoordJCPS and ask teachers what they need support with. I always put $ into Thinking Strategies. It works. I’ve worked a lot with OVEC over the years. #JCPSChat

    @CommonLit is lit...erary...and just plain lit. It is a great place for standards-aligned articles and stories for students. It is grade-level appropriate and engaging. It comes with leveled questions that are modeled after Next-gen questions. #JCPSChat

    A1: @Twitter, @BIEpbl, @IllustrateMath are good sources, but I usually just ask and trust in my PLN for resources #JCPSChat
  • janajay8 Feb 19 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A1: PLC’s have been helpful this year in this area.. the JCPS science curriculum allows me to use techniques I get from there to be implemented. My colleagues are always sharing what they use. #JCPSChat

    Q2: From @FeliciaSmith25 - How do you judge the quality of professional learning resources? #JCPSChat
  • girlie179 Feb 19 @ 8:14 PM EST
    Q1: I reach out to my closest colleagues @TeacherLadyKY @chayes4979 @RaCaiya_D @meme3rat. If they don’t have what I need I search through resources at Gheens and JCPS online resources. #JCPSChat
  • carriecross1974 Feb 19 @ 8:14 PM EST
    Whoopsie, my fav president is Lincoln. Rugged. Tall. Brilliant. Kentuckian. #emancipation #JCPSChat
  • meme3rat Feb 19 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A1: I mine a lot of hashtags and read a lot of articles by professional orgs like @Getting_Smart and @LearningForward. #KYGoDigital is great for digital resources. Don't forget #JCPSDL for @JCPSKY resources. #JCPSChat
  • Eslville Feb 19 @ 8:14 PM EST
    Our ESL resource teachers @amy_r_whitehead and twitterless Eli Beardsley alwas has an open door or quickly responds to email. Also our DL @PDLcoordJCPS expert has reached out.#jcpschat
  • CaIrby Feb 19 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A1 I am an avid blog reader! #JCPSChat
  • cmudd19 Feb 19 @ 8:15 PM EST
    A1: Last one.. But my @KyCTEPS tribe provided me with a lot of ideas that I built from this year. Then I attended @BIEpbl where I collected more ideas. #JCPSChat
  • TeacherLadyKY Feb 19 @ 8:15 PM EST
    Can we also acknowledge that @meme3rat is a walking professional resource herself? She knows where to find the answer to every question I've ever had. #jcpschat
  • MrsHaynesSci Feb 19 @ 8:15 PM EST
    #JCPSChat Chelsea Haynes here from Newburg Middle! Sorry for the late entrance

  • jcpsforward - Moderator Feb 19 @ 8:15 PM EST
    It's obvious that Lincoln is the man, the myth and the legend during #JCPSChat
  • benmonnett Feb 19 @ 8:15 PM EST
    A2: nothing is more meaningful and convincing than the testimony of a colleague in recconmeding professional learning opportunities! #JCPSChat
  • janajay8 Feb 19 @ 8:15 PM EST
    A2: none other than putting them to use and getting a feel for the effectiveness of the ideas in my own classroom. #JCPSChat
  • joshrhodes79 Feb 19 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A2: experience, and making sure I read a variety of sources so I can apply context and come to some of my own conclusions #JCPSChat
  • MorrisonsClass Feb 19 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A2 Trial and Error. Not everything is going to work, but being open to new ideas is important #jcpschat
  • RobFulk Feb 19 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A2- impact vs claim - can it be used today? - can it cross different buildings "Research says.." Is NOT a justification for what you want, it's lazy. Where did the research come from? What was the sample size? What was the Student composition? What was the agenda? #JCPSChat
  • meme3rat Feb 19 @ 8:16 PM EST
    Thanks for including me with these awesome educators! #JCPSChat
  • RAKlein6 Feb 19 @ 8:16 PM EST
    A2. I judge the quality of resources by their appearance (yep, #notashamed), organization, usability, recommendation, and whether or not its been edited for clarity and correctness before publication. #JCPSChat
  • TraciBurke06 Feb 19 @ 8:16 PM EST
    Traci Burke, AP at THE Marion C. Moore...sorry I am late...trying to manage between a sick kid, homework and baths!! #JCPSChat
    In reply to @jcpsforward
  • Eslville Feb 19 @ 8:17 PM EST
    Q2) I feel more confident if I can see a video of the practice working or have seen data that it works. Sometimes with my kiddos they just lead me places and I recall something I've read and go for it! #Mixitup #jcpschat

    Missy, GCC at Butler. Just lurking tonight...but letting you know I’m lurking so it’s not creepy. I don’t think I have a favorite president, but find Lincoln fascinating. #JCPSChat
  • ryan_mowbray Feb 19 @ 8:17 PM EST
    A1- As a student who wants to become a teacher I believe to get the reasources for professional learning I would go to my core content teachers #JCPSChat
  • MrsHaynesSci Feb 19 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A1: My #1 go to are my colleagues and district resources first.Then I usually look at youtube, pinterest, research articles, books, and twitter #JCPSChat
  • ecet2ky Feb 19 @ 8:18 PM EST
    If you aren't following @KyCTEPS for their design thinking work, you are missing out! #JCPSChat Great state-wide cohort!

    A2 By Universal applicability and by # of actual useful information! #JCPSChat
  • KipHottman Feb 19 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A1: Right now my world has been rocked by #DesignThinking & the Deeper Learning coach @FernCreekHigh, @AshleyLambS, has been pushing my thinking and sharing tons of resources. #JCPSChat
  • RaCaiya_D Feb 19 @ 8:18 PM EST
    Q2: Data and experience #JCPSChat
  • Brown_Principal Feb 19 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A2. I judge the quality of PD resources by how easy it is for teachers (or other staff for that matter) to take back what they learned and implement it. Are they trying it, or do they revert to the status quo? Can they support each other? #jcpschat
  • stockerkathlee1 Feb 19 @ 8:18 PM EST
    Q2: there are many ways to judge the quality of professional learning, but I think the most important thing is what you, as the learner, put into it. You have to have a positive attitude to get the most bang for your buck! #JCPSChat
  • cmudd19 Feb 19 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A2: By the source and the depth of student thinking. Does it include a variety of visuals? Is it just a boring worksheet? Does it lend itself to collaborative learning? But also is it engaging. Not just for the kids, but me too. I don't like to be bored at work. #JCPSChat
  • CalebJWest Feb 19 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A2: People will say data. But the true value of PD is not just an algorithm to apply in the classroom. Great PD changes your perspective, inspires creativity, and creates a professional network of teacher leaders for support. #JCPSChat
  • gcs1145 Feb 19 @ 8:19 PM EST
    Gwen Snow, @ESLNewcomer, #JCPSChat
  • ryan_mowbray Feb 19 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A2- the quality of going to my teachers as reasources for professional learning is very reliable, but if their not sure they make sure to find out for me to know. #JCPSChat
  • TraciBurke06 Feb 19 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A1) My main guy I always lean on is @PrincipalKafele! His work is great. If you haven’t read up on him or seen him speak, you’re missing out. Moore is honored to be hosting him in March! #JCPSChat

  • amythorntonJCPS Feb 19 @ 8:21 PM EST

    First BOOM! of the night! Are they trying or reverting to the status quo? Preach, Dr. Parsons, preach! #JCPSChat

  • MrsBischof_JCPS Feb 19 @ 8:21 PM EST
    A2: Data Driven choices. Will it excite my kiddos? Will they be authentically engaged? Those are the questions that are constantly in my head as I’m searching for resources! #JCPSchat

  • TraciBurke06 Feb 19 @ 8:22 PM EST
    Q2)There has to be a passion to the product. A why! A story! I want the presenter or the resource to be a product of something that actually worked and something that is applicable to ME. #JCPSChat
  • CaIrby Feb 19 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A2 I look for the reserach behind it. I seek others opintions. #jcpschat
  • MrsHaynesSci Feb 19 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A2: I always look at the source first. If I've never heard of the author/research behind it, it usually doesn't work in my classroom... unless my colleagues have had success with it. #JCPSChat
  • TeacherLadyKY Feb 19 @ 8:22 PM EST
    A3 Teacher-led PD is THE BEST. Also, I kind of secretly love a good PLC. #jcpschat
  • jcpsforward - Moderator Feb 19 @ 8:23 PM EST

  • RobFulk Feb 19 @ 8:23 PM EST

      A5: I have taken part in many virtual PDs and meetings. I find the ability to be in my pajamas while learning professionally makes me more apt to focus and stay on task. #JCPSChat
  • MorrisonsClass Feb 19 @ 8:45 PM EST
    A6 We don't have to find a babysitter, so we have more opportunities to attend. Most daycares close at 6, so online PD eliminates us missing seeing our own children #JCPSChat
  • meme3rat Feb 19 @ 8:45 PM EST
    Loving the way you think, Chelsea! Cohorts from beyond the comfy confines of JCPS are so worthwhile to expand our learning! #JCPSChat

    First time joining in! I've done a great deal of oyo PD concerning better implementing technology in the classroom. I recently joined in on the KY GoDigital event when we were all snowed in and loved it! Made me think that virtual plc's might be good. #JCPSChat @Brown_Principal

    A6. Ongoing feedback, discussion, and coaching is a logistical challenge. Online/virtual interaction is a potential solution for facilitating this more efficiently, maybe even more effectively. #jcpschat
  • Brown_Principal Feb 19 @ 8:46 PM EST
    A6. When the PD is led by someone who has walked in your shoes, the learning is going to be more relevant. #jcpschat
  • MrsHaynesSci Feb 19 @ 8:46 PM EST
    A5: I also watched the Snow Day #KYGoDigital AMAZING! #JCPSchat
  • HSG_KY Feb 19 @ 8:46 PM EST
    Fellows, if you haven't jumped into #JCPSChat tonight, it's worth a search later tonight or in the morning. Incredible breadth of professional learning resources. #HSGEdChat

    Q6. Learning to be better is a passion. Being able to do it in spare time,snow days.. not having to get ready and be at a place saves more time to meet everyday life challenges while learning..in our car, bedrooms. laundry rooms and libraries. #jcpschat
  • blogsdon328 Feb 19 @ 8:48 PM EST
    A6: It can give different perspectives. I can hear from those who are doing similar things as me in other buildings while also hearing from completely different situations from teachers in older grades. Also, I get to connect and grow with each person I meet. #jcpschat
  • TeacherLadyKY Feb 19 @ 8:48 PM EST
    A6 By building your professional learning network digitally through avenues like Twitter, Instagram, or webinars, you have access to more knowledge. Your knowledge isn't limited to your teammates, your building, or your district anymore. #jcpschat
  • jcpsforward - Moderator Feb 19 @ 8:49 PM EST
    Q7: From @TeacherLadyKY - What professional learning events are on your schedule or wish list in the coming weeks/months? #JCPSChat
  • meme3rat Feb 19 @ 8:49 PM EST
    .@heatherwarrell @EAbanatha @AlisonJLangley I think your appearance at #ECET2Lou is evident in #JCPSChat tonight. #KYGoDigital is getting lots of love!
  • CalebJWest Feb 19 @ 8:49 PM EST
    A6: Imagine virtual live viewing of professional learning in practice! Imagine curriculum maps becoming curriculum warehouses that are fluid and relevant to YOUR student population. Imagine networking w/ people who teach the same everything, whenever to our needed it! #JCPSChat

      #JCPSchat This is so amazing that I'm having a hard time keeping up with all the chats! Falling behind now...
  • TraciBurke06 Feb 19 @ 8:50 PM EST
    A6)Virtual PD experiences leave very little time for downtime...just naturally more engaging. Despite the physical human contact I think there tends to be a different level of comfort in conversation and debate as well. #JCPSChat
  • MrsHaynesSci Feb 19 @ 8:50 PM EST
    A6: I personally like that is in my own comfort zone and I feel more vulnerable to share my thoughts/beliefs. Also, I think that it can reach out to more people since there's not a hustle to get to a location right after a hard days work. #JCPSChat

    Virtual learning allows comforts and needs to be met. I did one where it was interactive by having the participants find materials online and share #JCPSChat
  • TeacherLadyKY Feb 19 @ 8:51 PM EST
    I am pumped for the @JCPSKY #DeeperLearningSymposium, Google PLC in March, and maybe, just maybe, a couple of virtual book studies. #maybe #jcpschat

  • Eslville Feb 19 @ 8:52 PM EST
    Q7) My next goal is to get with our #JCPSDL group and improve on my practice and then share it with my colleagues because they need to do this too! #jcpschat I've been on our site and think I'm on the right track but need feedback.
  • meme3rat Feb 19 @ 8:53 PM EST
    To me, that is a key tenet of virtual learning. #JCPSChat
