We go home inspired and then ......school life resumes the next day with no time to sit with colleagues to plan and keep the momentum of the excitement. I have an inkling I do the same thing to my kids at school sometimes. Thanks for the reminder to slow down.

I think that's why we forget so much of what was taught to us so quickly. It is hard to sit back and allow all of that to happen, whether our students are kids or adults. It's something I'm working on too! Welcome to the #SOL17!

When I first looked at the picture, and before reading, I thought this might be your home! I love attending PD when there is more of choice for teachers. It is hard to sit and be talked to. Taking it all in can be hard. Choice is always a good choice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744703682376498503.post-87931131803670268182017-03-01T08:46:32.952-08:002017-03-01T08:46:32.952-08:00I love this!

These teachers were lucky to get some choice time today--hope I have plenty of PD opportunities like this next year!Svalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05454886481299483512noreply@blogger.com
