Check out this presentation from the Kettle Moraine Team at WEMTA 18 on professional development. Lots of great ideas and parameters for future ready learners, technology integration, and how to make PD more personal and engaging.

I recently sat down with Terry Heick from TeachThought.com to chat about a whole host of topics, including global warming, data privacy, ePortfolios, and blogging with students.

Sent this to my tech committee today. Great way to model what we're asking teachers to do in their classrooms.

Founded in 1943, ASCD (formerly the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) is an educational leadership organization dedicated to advancing best practices and policies for the success of each learner. Our 175,000 members in 119 countries are professional educators from all levels and subject areas--superintendents, supervisors, principals, teachers, professors of education, and school board members.

I've been blessed as a student and as an educator. There have been so many who have crossed my path that have influenced me due to their love and compassion that they've shown to me. I hope to pay it forward each day in my personal and professional life.

A wise person once told me that if you lose a teacher's trust, it's nearly impossible to regain it. Without trust, an instructional coach has very little influence over the professional growth of a teacher, and ultimately, student achievement.

I have been looking for a link to these ABC/numerical book order templates for a few weeks now. Great find! Use for teaching students how to find books on a shelf. Great skills practice and check!

This can be a time suck but I love curating information here.

Like a professional version of Pinterest, right?
