Knowledge, Learning, Community

Two things are true, writes Dean Shareski. "Teachers are overwhelmed and tired and teachers still need and want to learn." So he asks, "how do we design professional learning that equally honors both of those truths?" The article consists mostly of Twitter responses to the question. Overall, he says, "choice and well designed experiences top the list." The other major response is that because things are "bananas" at school, there's no time to learn. I would think the opposite is true: learning the only way to develop an effective response to crisis. At the same time, though, I'm sympathetic. "No buses & no subs & no routines & & &" is enough to challenge anyone. Image: EdSurge.
