A Principal's Reflections

SEPTEMBER 24, 2013

Even though Chris and I respectfully disagree on awards in general we had an enlightening conversation over the course of 3 days in public and private on the importance of sharing stories. Encourage colleagues to attend and participate in Edcamps or Twitter chats. I bet that you will make that educators day!

The traditional forms of sit-and-get PD are giving way to MOOCs, webinars, Edcamps and flipped learning. Traditional PD models can be flipped too, where work is done before to learn basic skills via video or through course work. I’ve been a part of a lot of successful PD and been a part of a lot of not so good PD.

It's why doctor's offices are called practices and why we should reframe our notion of teaching as a practice, rather than a set of skills acquired through college courses. They know they have limits yet are constantly seeking minute improvements to continue growing themselves as an educator.

Teachers in 2017 are more likely to learn from a Twitter chat for education than most “sit and get” professional development sessions hosted by their school or district. Of course, there is always a lag between first-mover excitement and these behaviors becoming the norm. Here’s why. We just couldn’t anticipate at the time exactly how.

This could be something to applied the idea of educators using Twitter. With the Twitter now implementing video in the service, it will be something that people will not only be open to learn, but I am sure will do interesting and new things with. For those reasons Twitter will never connect all educators.

Of course relationships matter. My informal leadership experience (not even sure what would fall under that category; speaking gigs, writing, organizing 10 years of Edcamps, I really am not sure) greatly outweighs my formal experience.
