Creating a school hashtag, and the accomplishment of getting teachers to be connected is powerful! I also love the journaling. I have tried asking teachers to write a reflection of data specifically just to incorporate what we were doing with data and looking at it to increase student achievement, and for some of the teachers it was foreign and uncomfortable, but they rose to the challenge. I have to commend you on inspiring teachers to dig deep and get back to the reason they were called to the profession. Accountability should not be feared, yet rather push us to do better for students!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14417577509672120628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-154520607412791034.post-5633675995118175342012-08-18T13:03:10.896-05:002012-08-18T13:03:10.896-05:00Your flipped faculty meetings has inspired me to m...Your flipped faculty meetings has inspired me to model it in our PD. my teachers are new to Twitter but 10 signed up and are beginning to explore. That's cool. We are starting Techie Tuesdays to take our tech integration further. I'm looking for schools to partner with in this initiative to broaden our knowledge & learning. Thanks for the FdBk. The post doesn't do justice to what actually happened.

Really dig a TON about all of this -- ...Hey John, <br /><br />Really dig a TON about all of this -- particularly the fact that your starting your own school hashtag. I hope that explodes for your faculty and that you'll use it to share a constant stream of resources for your teams and teachers. <br /><br />What caught my eye the most, though, was the mention that teachers "wrote in their journals."<br /><br />Do you have your faculty journal on a regular basis? If so, how?<br /><br />It sounds SUPER valuable. I can see every faculty meeting starting with (1). Ten minutes of journaling about a topic important to the school and (2). ten minutes of sharing about the journaling.<br /><br />You could even combine it with the flipped faculty meeting stuff that people are talking about: Watch one of the videos that you shared, journal about it, and come to our next meeting ready to reflect with a partner about what you've written.<br /><br />If this is what you're doing, let us know how! It's cool.<br /><br />Rock on, <br />BillBill Ferriterhttp://teacherleaders.typepad.com/the_tempered_radicalnoreply@blogger.com
