#PersonalizedPD SUCCESS STORIES!
North Tama's off to a great start!
Submitted by Maegan Meister, North Tama Curriculum Director
It has been about one year since we started our Personalized PD journey at North Tama. After nine months of researching, learning, planning and creating what PPD would look like here at North Tama, we are officially up and running and are very excited about the presence of Growth Mindset and ongoing learning happening in our district.
A few highlights of PPD so far:
Developing a strong PPD team of admin, elementary and secondary teachers & AEA consultant
Teachers having choice and control when deciding on their focus
Many teachers are finishing up research and are heading to integration/reflection steps
Teacher’s sharing their PPD journey with students, staff members and community members
PPD coaches are able to check in with staff with the purpose of reflecting through meaningful conversations
We know other districts around us are also considering or participating in Personalized PD, and we thought this was a great opportunity to start a local PPD community where we can share resources, collaborate, and stay connected throughout everyone’s Personalized PD journey.
