      I like what this article is implementing. I learning seems to be much more affective with a hands on approach. Not only that but after trial and error the information will eventually stick. Teach teachers the way you would want your students to be taught!
  • when teachers are coached through the awkward phase of implementation, 95 percent can transfer the skill
  • teachers need to be working with the content they teach. Teachers don’t find professional development on generic topics useful

  • professional development that focuses on teachers analyzing the specific skill and concept they’ll teach in their discipline is not only well-received by teachers, but has also been shown to improve both teacher practice and student learning
  • In order to truly change practices, professional development should occur over time and preferably be ongoing. During the implementation stage, initial attempts to use a new teaching strategy are almost certain to be met with failure, and mastery comes only as a result of continuous practice despite awkward performance and frustration in the early stages.
  • Without support during this phase, it is highly unlikely that teachers will persevere with the newly learned strategy.
  • Case studies suggest that districts may be able to restructure spending for effective professional development without spending significantly more.

  • Twitter is one of my favorite places to gather information on education trends.
  • Start off by following educators with similar interests and organizations that share ideas you can use in your classroom. You can search by hashtags like #mlearning or #STEM to find tweets in an area you are interested in learning more about.
  • If you become overwhelmed because the volume is getting just too big, divide them into lists to make navigating your Twitter feed a little easier. This way, you have one spot dedicated to colleagues in your school or local community, another for people you've heard speak at a conference, and a space just for following along with current events. My go-to list is titled "ADEs and EdTech Leaders," which I created to list some of my favorite tweeters.

  • Lots of organizations now offer live and on-demand webinars for busy teachers.
  • Many webinars offer a back channel so that participants can share ideas and strategies with other attendees. If you're not able to make a scheduled webinar, there are some that can be accessed on demand, allowing teachers to watch at a time that is convenient for them. SimpleK12 has free weekend webinar events where teachers can learn about best practices.
  • When you're looking to try out a new app or web-based tool, search for the product developer's website to see if their homepage includes a video to watch.
  • try hosting a Google Hangout.
  • treat the meetup like a book club.
  • I'm always coming across great articles on education thanks to my personal learning network on Twitter and other social media sites.
