Maintain the Momentum: Making Professional Learning Stick

When attending conferences and workshops, we retain only a fraction of what we see and hear from the presenters, no matter how amazing they are. It is only through a process of intentional reflection and sharing that we can leverage and expand our new learning to impact our entire school system.

Crowdsourcing: Straight from the Classroom

I’ve used crowdsourcing in writing instruction here and there, but this was the first project I designed and taught using the strategy as a foundation for our work. The verdict? Crowdsourcing improves writing and engages students. In this post, I’ll share our process, and I hope others will find ideas and inspiration.
