TBT is the new TTT!
Whether it's back to basics, backwards mapping, or starting from Lighthouse year one - we are focusing on building on solid foundation and all being on the same page! It is also time that we share our best practices and apply it to our SPP, Hopkins evaluation, Charlotte Danielson, and other frameworks. We will also use models such as TPACK and SAMR to ensure the tech we are using in our best practices continues to be purposeful.
I will be using the CHOMP model (collaboration, hands-on, ongoing, mindset shifts, and persoanlization) to guide our PD and build our climate as a school team.
During our first TBT (Sept. 19th) we will explore the Hopkins mid-year evaluation for STAT and decide as a team which topic we would like to start with. We will dive deep into what that topic means and how it looks in the classroom .
We will continue to meet on Tuesday mornings. This year I will also stay Tuesday afternoons to cover the same topic as the morning. If the afternoon works better for you, you know have that option!
Since TBT is a combination of TTT and Bite-Size PD, I can always throw in a TTT or Bite-size PD when needed! I will continue to do Twitter chats and also introduce a slow Twitter chat.
I look forward to sharing this new PD style with you! :-)
