from students

"Often times the students know more about technology than the teachers do. Maybe a good focus for teachers would be to take what we know they know, and give them different avenues to explore and learn with that knowledge?"

"just in time"

"If you get the training too soon, then by the time it is time to apply the learning (whether it be a new tool or computer language or technology or whatever), then you don't remember."

by doing/helping

"By extending the scope of their activities outside of their classroom, teachers create learning opportunities for themselves as well as creating a positive learning environment."

listening

"By considering thoughts and suggestions from students, parents, other teachers, and administrators teachers find learning opportunities to enhance using other strategies."

in-service

"On the job training - peers sharing information before, during or after the work day"

teach yourself

"manuals, books, the internet, etc"

college courses

"Courses relating to new things needed to do the job, or to do the job better."

through reflection

"By thinking about why their teaching has been succesful or how it could be improved, teachers use an experimental approach to hone their skills."

collaboratively

"I help teachers find resources and offer suggestions/ideas."
teaming/coaching

professional development

"By engaging in seminars, provided by their district or their professional organizations, teachers keep their knowledge in synchronization with best practices."

hands-on

"By constantly challenging themselves to extend their activities beyond their routine, teachers create new personal learning opportunities."
