I like each idea, but the "timing" is so important. No one wants a day of PD right before school begins. Teachers are all itching to get into the classroom!

Choice and action plan are key!!! PD is tough -as the people who design it we find we constantly face road blocks - we call them PD problems. There are a ton of them - our profession does not seem to be designed to support embedded, relevant, timely PD. So many things we would love to change... Love your list -- thanks for sharing.<br />ClareClare Landriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413627163568088181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112012300274809736.post-18243576710789318112016-03-20T08:08:22.442-05:002016-03-20T08:08:22.442-05:00Believe it or not i have never been to an EdCamp, ...Believe it or not i have never been to an EdCamp, but now I wish I had.

PD is so important but only if it's done in a way that we can actually get something relevant and helpful out of it!janiefaheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17463136224026607939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112012300274809736.post-65811484122748920062016-03-20T06:46:15.036-05:002016-03-20T06:46:15.036-05:00Jennifer, this is awesome!

For the...I also love choice and ownership in my PD. For the last two years, I have found myself in the position of literacy coach, and really thinking hard about the PD I offer. Usually, it happens with the teacher in his/her classroom; action research at its finest. However, when it is a before or after school, 3 elements are key for me: 1) it's optional, 2) it involves a lot of interaction, processing, and conversation from my colleagues, and 3) it happens over multiple sessions (or we apply it in their classrooms together).<br />PD is only valuable when it matters to teachers. Thanks for giving insight to what makes PD valuable to you!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549453373381775445noreply@blogger.com
