If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that we are hosting TEDxThursdays during the month of January as part of our Professional Development opportunities. Each Thursday, I gather with teachers during their planning periods to unwind, learn, reflect, and discuss (and have chocolate!)
The conversations are different in every group, and I let the discussion flow as we all learn from the insights of the participants.
It's been very exciting to see teachers opening up to new ideas and having "a-ha" moments. Usually, these TEDxThursdays stick with them, and after a few days someone will stop me in the hallway or shoot me an email to continue sharing their reflections on the video.
