Common planning time is great and necessary. But remember someone on your staff that works with those kids is always left out #SwivlChat

valerietilton Apr 20 @ 6:20 PM EDT

A1: Without collab our school could not survive! We are an interdependent machine that works as a team! #swivlchat

AmandaDemorrett Apr 20 @ 6:21 PM EDT

A2 We need adequate time for authentic, meaningful and focused discussion. It needs to be everyone's priority. #SwivlChat

A3: Collab with Ts on #OrEdChat helped me with a curriculum direction #SwivlChat (Sorry I'm late to the chat)

bigtechcoach Apr 20 @ 6:34 PM EDT

A4: My specialty! You sometimes have to force Ts to collab the 1st time but then the benefits become obvious! #NowTheyWontStop #swivlchat

DrKChilds Apr 20 @ 6:34 PM EDT

A4: extremely collaborative; the PD is designed based upon teachers collaborating post PD to implement the material covered in PD #swivlchat
