I really enjoyed our last discussion protocol of the day at #LFNTX! Partners had a prompt related to the topic, we reflected about our wish to do more, do less, do better, or do different…then turned and discussed with a partner! Thanks Laura M for a fabulous day of learning! #LFTXLearns

I always enjoy PoP time at #LFNTX! It's energizing to hear what other professional learning leaders are doing in their schools/districts. I often gravitate to the alternative forms of PD discussion, and I love hearing the creativity happening around the area! @learntexas.bsky.social #EduSky

In Sunday's session at #LearnFwd24, Breathe New Life Into Adult Learning, we captured our takeaways on a large Lego block. 😄 What I'm still thinking about is the *continuum* of training to PD to PL, how all are needed, and how these correspond to levels of engagement. 🤔 #LFAcademy25 #EduSky

In our pre-conference session at #LearnFwd24 we have boxes of materials on our table. An interesting priming strategy is for us to write our “why we signed up for this session” on the box. 🤔
