Innovator's Mindset
CV is in the final stretch of our book study, and I wanted to give a BIG shout out to all those teachers who have put themselves out there, sharing lessons, opening doors, and collaborating on all the great opportunities our school creates for our students. In a nutshell, this ongoing professional learning is the essence of Chapter 9, Powerful Learning First, Technology Second with a focus on those ending discussion questions:
- How do you model and explore new opportunities for learning in your own practice?
- What opportunities are you providing for informal learning, exploration, and “play” with new technologies in your organization?
- How do you move from “standardized” to “personalized” learning opportunities for your students and staff?
and Chapter 11, Embracing an Open Culture with an overall focus on this, the chapter synopsis:
How do we make great learning go viral? The amount of resources that educators have access to is far more than even 10 years ago, but do we promote sharing, or stifle it? Educators need to move from the idea that “I have nothing great to share”, to “what I share can make a difference for students anywhere.” With the technologies we have access to, it is not only important to share globally, but more important to learn from one another locally.
finally, embracing Chapter 12, I wanted to reshare with each of an upcoming opportunity at EdCamp York, PA. It is a fantastic opportunity that I have been a part of both as a teacher and administrator and will be in attendance again this year. In its essence the philosophy is covered with the synopsis of this chapter:
We create what we experience. Yet too often we talk about what powerful learning can look like, yet not necessarily provide professional learning opportunities for our community to really experience what learning could look like today.
I would love to encourage each of you to attend and register with the link below. If you'd like to carpool, please don't hesitate to ask since I am already registered to attend.
THANK YOU!
