A1: I am new to the district, so I am not currently involved in PD yet. I have PD to offer (Teach with A SMILE, Say Cheese! An ARTISAN Approach to Education, and Simulate to Stimulate), but I want to soak in some learning and observation first before I share. #CrazyPLN

A2: Similarly to being in the classroom, building in time for purposeful interaction with the content or skills being learned is important. Chunking ideas and directions into smaller sections can be helpful, so that learners don't become overwhelmed or distracted.#CrazyPLN

A3: My favorite things in school PD are activities that revolve around reminding educational professionals why they chose to put their time and energy into creating activities and environments for students to learn. Those reminders make the PD learning more purposeful. #CrazyPLN

A4: Options and time for interacting with and reflection on the learning are base ingredients for the perfect PD. #CrazyPLN

We are getting ready to dive deep and build trust and understanding by revamping and expanding our class empathy maps for a first day activity. I've used empathy maps for the past few years, and I am happy with how this year's iteration looks. 🙌🏻

When life needs healing, I can either ignore it or do something about it. I choose to nurture. Here’s to a healing year! 💕 #OneWord2024 #OneWord
