I’m a bit late to the game, but here’s my post on PD. I’d take a bit of a break from blogging for August and I forgot how writing keeps me motivated 🙂 Motivation level is back up and back to work it is!

This one is a Pandora’s box for me! https://readersbeadvised.wordpress.com/2017/08/20/so-professional-development-should/
Another wonderful post from Alicia. When I learned about making slide presentations more visually stimulating, I redid all my lessons…it took me through the school year, but it really paid off the next year with increased student interest! And I, too, rely on Pixabay!
I’d like to set up an educational skill share scheme https://blogs.brighton.ac.uk/nina/2017/08/15/profdev/
Nina always gives me something to think about more deeply. Thanks!
I’ve previously written about professional development vs professional learning -it’s different!
Take yourself on the journey…
