It can be difficult to know what we actually need though. It's hard to take a step back and reflect. Sometimes it's good to have candid conversations with folks about my true needs. Not comfortable, but necessary. #edchat
@CarinaHilbert @GeniusKristel In my experience, my evaluations have been vague when it comes to areas of growth, and as a self-motivated learner I would have jumped on any specified areas to seek PD. Definitely depends on the teacher though! #edchat
As educators, we know the power of choice in education. I am significantly more invested in the PD that I choose to attend as opposed to those my administration requires. #edchat https://t.co/EsD1pp0Pli
Our #Edchat Topic: If people tend to stay in their comfort zones and many are unaware of tech and professional advances why offer choices in educational Professional Development?
I definitely think that is part of it! I also believe that very specific feedback from evaluations and observations would assist teachers in branching out because they would more easily recognize the benefit of the "unfamiliar" PD topic. #edchat https://t.co/mrsTd07vT1
