Tommorrow is a professional learning day for us at PH. Much work has gone into the planning of the day by multiple people. I would highly encourage you to stay engaged throughout the day. Challenge yourself to take two new innovative ideas away. They could be small-tiny ideas; like "instead of standing by the windows, I am going to stand by the colorful backdrop of a bulletin board to draw more eyes to me when I am leading the discussion." Better use of space.
The day is focused on personalized learning. How can we best meet the needs of every student in their own unique way? To encourage you a bit, watch this quick video of some students explaining how teachers had impacts on them.
For Consideration:
1. How can you be engaged in all your sessions on Monday?
2. What distractions do you need to fight to stay engaged? Cell phone (leave it behind), Email (it will be there later) grading papers (not the time for it) etc...
3. For reflection after Monday. Write this down on a post-it note or a scrap paper: What two new ideas did I take away from Monday?
For a little fun, here is a video having fun with what happens on teacher PD days.
