Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year. I will continue to write this weekly posting for all of you. The objective of this blog is to serve you, as educators, an opportunity to weekly personal PD.
Here is the link to the video I used on Wednesday regarding "Knowing Your Why"

Hopefully this video helped you in creating your #whyIteach bubble and your "3 words" to focus on for the year. Both those activities were focused on helping you develop a plan to write your professional growth plan for the year.
Here is the link to the second video that wouldn't play. It is Rita Pierson, TED Talk.

Questions to Consider:
1. What does Ms. Pierson say we discount, as educators, in the school house? What don't we focus on?
2. What are some "simple things" that we can do to help establish relationships with students?
3. How can a +2 on a paper be beneficial to a student? Is that something that you can use?
4. The title of this talk is "Every Kid Needs A Champion" which sounds a lot like "Every Kid Deserves an Adult Advocate"
