The theme of the twitter chat was professional development and the first question was regarding what motivates you to attend professional development.]]> 2018-03-19 22:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/courtney_close/ti46voakw11k/wish/243781873 courtney_close https://padlet.com/courtney_close/ti46voakw11k/wish/243782298 This was a question about who you attend professional development with or whether you prefer to go alone.
