  • However, one thing I have noticed when it comes to integrating information communication technologies (ICT), is that the teachers and the schools that really fly, the high performing schools...they don’t come to my PD. They don’t go to any PD. They understand that they, and their professional networks, are their own PD.
  • The problem with PD is that on the whole it treats teachers as ‘consumers’ of professional knowledge, and discourages teachers from thinking for themselves. The reality is that most of good practice with ICT is still to be developed. Teachers need to be ‘creators’ of professional knowledge.
  • Great teachers see themselves as ‘creators’ of professional knowledge. Through a continuous cycle of ‘planning, application, reflection’ great teachers develop improved ways to educate students, tailoring their teaching to the specific needs of the context within which they teach.

  • I use three key questions to guide the reflection within this cycles – the reflection being the most important part:How well did that go? (what I tried to do?)How do I know how well it went? (what data am I relying on?)How well could that have gone? (this is probably the most important question)

  • Wherever you are as a person and as a professional, you are still a teacher. It’s a high calling that we’ve gone after. Whenever and wherever you are, seek to model the best of your professional and personal self. Keep a sense of professional distance.
  • Certainly, care and love and concern for the young people in our work is paramount. But it does mean be intentional and purposeful about the ways that you present yourself, wherever you may happen to be.
  • For the same reason that I set boundaries in my face to face interactions with students, I maintain some sense of professional separation in online spaces.

    Casting aside the limitations of physical space and time, social networking on the Internet expands the possibilities for teachers to take control of their learning and to push beyond the borders of the classroom, the school and the district's annual professional development conferences.

  • must engage in ongoing capacity-building; ideally including a combination of coaching, mentoring, support and training.
  • Not surprisingly, technology investments seldom produce maximal educational returns. To strengthen this weak link, any consideration of purpose-built technologies must benefit from including strong training, professional development, and ongoing professional learning components.
  • Similarly, waiting for equipment set-up (e.g. calibrating an interactive whiteboard), handling network glitches (e.g. security problems), and resolving equipment issues (e.g. burnt-out bulbs and stuck keyboard keys) too often sidetrack teaching, disrupt classroom activities, frustrate users, and ultimately diminish student learning.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • These include preventative maintenance, equipment loaner pools, remote helpdesks, and school-site repairs.
  • Teachers benefit because they receive training, professional development and ongoing support that aligns with technology they receive and the work they do in their classrooms. Moreover, they have reliable tech support when they need it.
  • The first involves shifting computers from school tech labs to classrooms and from classrooms to pupils’ backpacks. The second replaces books and print-based analogues with online curricula and digital content. The third removes one-size-fits all, teacher-at-front-of-the room instructional approaches in favour of personalised lessons, assessments, and instructional modalities.

    Mark Weston Article on 3 trends in technology for education. No surprises on the three. Shifting computers from classroom to backpacks; replacing print based books with online curricula and digital content and changing from teacher at front of the room to personalized lessons, assessments and instructional modalities. The key information comes on building the capacity of teachers and making sure that tech issues don't hold back teaching and learning.

  • 3. Create opportunities for job embedded learning. Use outside consultants, coaches, and professional developers to support or "push" educators to new understandings or levels, but also look for opportunities for educators to learn from their own practices.
  • 2. Acknowledge progress. True and effective professional development requires all educators to apply themselves in ways that they have not before and this is hard work so acknowledge the outcomes of this hard work! Job embedded professional learning meets the needs of teachers, and so the reciprocal outcome is that the needs of students are met as well.
  • Working during their department collaboration time, the teachers identified online discussions as a scaffolded writing strategy that they as an entire department could support. They articulated SMART goals within this strategy and they identified online discussions as a specific instructional practice.

  • And so we develop ourselves. On blogs. On Twitter. Throughout the PLN. We have used the opportunity of the tools at our disposal to engage in an older and vastly more satisfying form of professional development than the mandatory in-service.
  • We've developed a relationship with development. We are engaging with our growth and our communal experience in an open, social, and mutually beneficial way.

  • GIVES EDUCATORS REAL-TIME PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: Rather than waiting for school-sanctioned PD events and rather than having to locate experts on their own, Twitter gives educators access to a vast social network of other like-minded professionals. Questions posed to Twitter are often answered quickly, and special hashtags, such as #edchat, provide a forum for where teachers to address specific topics at scheduled times.
  • CREATES CUSTOMIZED PROFESSIONAL NETWORK: It isn’t just educators that are using Twitter to expand their access to experts. Twitter has become a key tool for creating personal learning networks, enabling anyone to build their own connections with other Twitter users, sharing learning resources and support. This support has been shown in several studies to help boost student achievement.

    "Instructional coaches and teacher curriculum leaders -- It's all part of the new wave of teacher leadership. That's a very good thing - but quite often the new coach gets little clear direction about how to best accomplish this formidable professional challenge. In a recent (and very popular) Education Week Teacher article, Oakland CA middle grades coach Elena Aguilar shared advice from her own coaching practice. Call it the beginnings of "the manual that should have been in the box.""
