Last week, I had the privilege of facilitating a panel at NCTE called “Open Learning: Empowering Teachers Through Professional Development.”<\/p>\n

Anyone who knows me knows that I have become a big believer in open models of professional learning through spaces like Twitter<\/a>, P2PU<\/a>, TTT<\/a>, Digital Is<\/a>, and others. This session was all about that. (Slides below. Also, we live streamed the session, thanks to Paul Allison<\/a>, and the video is here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

To me, these new models of professional learning are all about value, openness, self-direction, agency, and authenticity. It’s time to reject PD that doesn’t achieve these goals.<\/p>\n
