Teachers are able to come together and apply proposals for grants: if approved, teachers teach other teachers HOW to implement strategies, tips and tricks within the classroom. ]]> 2020-01-30 01:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ZahraZ/s3dtqd82iu6t/wish/437936234 ZahraZ https://padlet.com/ZahraZ/s3dtqd82iu6t/wish/437936707 https://pdo.ascd.org/catalog/browsecatalog.aspx]]> 2020-01-30 01:20:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ZahraZ/s3dtqd82iu6t/wish/437936707 ZahraZ https://padlet.com/ZahraZ/s3dtqd82iu6t/wish/437937660 ASCD Online PD Courses have a wide array of courses that show teachers how to implement strategies. For example, a course that I am very interested in purchasing is "Building Teacher Capacity for Success" in which I can learn how to coach other teachers. ]]> 2020-01-30 01:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ZahraZ/s3dtqd82iu6t/wish/437937660 ZahraZ https://padlet.com/ZahraZ/s3dtqd82iu6t/wish/437939501 It is important for me to find resources (be it websites, government links, human beings, etc) that can help Professional Development be MUCH more than something forced on teachers. Professional Development, to me, means we can and should develop in an ongoing manner, much like the OCT states. We also need to be equipped with tools and processes that can help us use our development in a meaningful way and I feel these three resources are a great jumping point for me. ]]> 2020-01-30 01:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ZahraZ/s3dtqd82iu6t/wish/437939501 ZahraZ https://padlet.com/ZahraZ/s3dtqd82iu6t/wish/437941455 The courses do cost money, however, the key here is to be selective in the PD opportunity. The course that I mentioned above will better help me to design PD sessions in which on-going coaching and mentoring occurs through the academic year]]> 2020-01-30 01:38:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ZahraZ/s3dtqd82iu6t/wish/437941455 ZahraZ https://padlet.com/ZahraZ/s3dtqd82iu6t/wish/437942153 There are a lot of conferences, articles, links, for teachers to Professionally Develop.

Admittedly, I didn't know that this existed and I am happy because teachers who create PD workshops and lead them will understand the significance of implementation. ]]> 2020-01-30 01:45:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ZahraZ/s3dtqd82iu6t/wish/437943468
