Preston Webster replied to Liz Davis's discussion 'Rethinking Professional Development'
Laurie, You are at the heart of what motivates adults to learn. Excellent. Most of my failure had to do with my inability to connect meaning, purpose, and passion to learning that helped teachers improve teaching (this means doing something diffe...

Curt Lieneck replied to Susan Carter Morgan's discussion 'Twittering?'

Curt Lieneck replied to Liz Davis's discussion 'Rethinking Professional Development'
Where is the teacher's time coming from to engage in these more personalized approaches to PD? We would gladly do more of this sort of thing with teachers, but even those motivated to do so have a lot of trouble making time for them.
