The Ed Techs and IP"s tried something brand new in their summer PD this week. After having sent out a survey to teachers about what they were looking for in PD, it became apparent that what most staff wanted was time to collaborate with their peers. Given that information, we began to envision what that would look like and we came up with TESLA. Teachers came up with their own agenda on Day 1 and the IP's and Ed Techs facilitated conversations on the selected topics. The day was broken up by our Spark Sessions. Each teacher could choose three 30 minute sessions to attend in the two days that we spent together. Topics ranged from Morning Meetings to the latest tips and tricks for the new teacher iPad Air 2s.
Feedback was overwhelmingly positive and there were requests to do this again next year. Below are two videos that sum up each day's experience for me.
