Planning Workshops: Creating Learning Opportunities that Transfer • Reflecting on our professional development experiences • Considering PRINCIPLES of professional development • A template for planning workshops • Trying it on… thinking about your next sessions with teachers • Final reflection and closing
Reflecting on Professional Development • Think about the BEST professional development you have ever experienced… • What were the qualities that made that experience so powerful? • What can we take away from our shared reflection that supports us with future planning/implementation of workshops?
PRINCIPLES of Planning and Facilitating Workshops • Respectful– acknowledges teacher strengths , expertise and beliefs • Purposeful and Relevant– allows time for planning and thinking about future work • Balanced– differentiated in order to meet all teachers’ needs and yet also build community across all implementation levels • Collegial – time to talk and share in order to understand how colleagues are thinking and to grow ideas together • Reflective – time to think about professional practice w/o being critical of self or others
The Planning Template • Getting Started • Participants • Goals an Outcomes • The Agenda • Introductions • Focused Reflection • Learning Something new • Trying it On • Sharing and Final Reflection
Trying it on… • Think about upcoming professional development workshops you planning/facilitating… • What are your teachers ready to try or learn more about? • Think through the planning template – How does this inform your work with teachers?
