When listening to others experiences don't try to devalue them with anecdotal evidence to the contrary. A lived experience is a truth.

When implementing social justice and equity training, districts need to vet professional learning curriculum from consultants and vendors to make sure they are not superficial diversity activities branded as racial equity

When approaching DEI professional learning it's not the burden of Black teachers to expain how systematic racism, prejudices, micro aggressions, and other topics to their white counterparts.

15 years ago I changed careers from fiber optics telecommunications to high school math teacher. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Discussing an article from @jimknight99 for my #EDLR5402 class, came across this quote,"Perception is reality." Teachers are likely to resist change if they perceive they are under attack from change leaders.

Over multiple classes, readings, lectures, and guest speakers, my analysis is that conducive teacher professional learning comes from trust, collaboration, choice, and time.

There is no one right to approach professional learning. The most effective approaches are personalized and meet teachers where they are and address their individual needs.

Too often, professional learning sessions plod through a series of strategies and leave participants with a list of tools they never have an opportunity to fully experience or use. - @thelearningloop
A teacher toolbox where you don't have a chance to use the tools.

No matter how well a facilitator plans a professional learning experience, there will be low engagement if teachers' don't feel that the PDL relates to their learning needs.

Facilitator credentials have a big effect on teachers' willingness to fully engage in Professional Learning. Teachers would rather learn from someone who shares their experiences than a facilitator who's never taught in the classroom.
