After spending time on both sides of the BBB as both staff developer and participant, I now know that this experience can be as amazing as we set the tone for it to be. We should enjoy our time with our participants and take the best possible care of them, inspire them and model for them what we want them to do each day for their students

Take a little extra time for the "teacher talk" to help participants reflect about their own teaching in this environment. They are here to see a model of digital instruction, not just to get a training!!!

Set participants up for success. Model a growth mindset. Continuously bring this back to our WHY which is our students!

Without being face to face and having all the visual cues we're accustomed to, it's easy to "assume". I've been reminded that creating relationships helps participants ask us questions, and that I need to ask questions and build those relationships to understand the place and way in which participants are entering this digital space.

We are meeting our partners where they are. They love connecting with us and each other. DXP fosters an authentic environment where educators can take risks and connect with others on their successes and how to face the challenges of virtual learning. #BetterTogether

Grace with technology

Really honing in on this art will help to support our partners as they prepare for a virtual learning space in the fall.  Providing professional learning through a virtual platform adds more transition time, clear/kind instructions, and a myriad of items that must be planned for delivery.  Jumping into AVID DigitalXP has helped to hone my craft while modeling for educators what it could look like.  All while practicing grace!

We have amazing educators that we are working with!  They are awesome!  They need support, and encouragement that they can do hard things!

Ensure that all participants are feeling safe and valued before going on to the next phase. Especially with Technology, everyone must feel supported!  I do think there may be a way to move those with more tech knowledge and awareness on while still supporting others however.  I am still thinking through that.

Being explicit with participants about everything they are experiencing in DXP can be replicated in their own virtual classrooms this fall.

There are many who might struggler with technology, but they are very responsive to you setting up times within the asynchronous space to assist them.  They enjoy doing the celebrations and really need the energy boost. Building them into the time as a part of the learning is important.

These two edtech tools make all kinds of WICOR strategies possible in a digital classroom. Carousel Brainstrorm, Jigsaw with Expert Groups, Collaborative Frayer....

DigitalXP has brought out an abundance of grace for one another. We all acknowledged --facilitator and participants--that we are new to this Digital Prof Learning world. We offer patience when one doesn't "get it" as quickly as the rest, or when the digital tool doesn't quite work as smoothly as we expected.
In this techno-jungle, HUMAN kindness gains prominence!
I will take this and share/model this in the fall with our partners!
