I once was told that the best way to learn is to teach it. That seems to be something that is often used in education too. We hear things like first year teachers/administrators being "one day ahead of the students/teachers" or the duck premise of paddling at an unbelievable pace under the water but looking calm and collected above the water.
To continue with ideas about Personal PD, I challenge you in expanding your horizons. For me, this challenge came in writing this weekly PD blog for our staff. It took me outside of my regular routines and I really like being able to publish a (hopefully) useful blog.
Here are some ideas to maybe "expand your horizons"
1. Start a class twitter or facebook page- tell your "story" through that social media
2. Write a research based article or a PD article for the Ohio ASCD journal

3. Attend a PD and share out what you learned to your department or our staff
4. You know something that has been nagging at you to "expand your horizons," now may be the time to take that on.
Questions To Consider:
1. What does it hurt to give it a try?
2. Give it a try, it may be something you really enjoy.
