Summer PD update

This week, I'll be learning with some of my Twitter friends in Warsaw (Indiana!) at the All Write Consortium.    I've already got some ideas for which sessions I plan to attend. I'm sure I'll be tweeting live from the event but also hope to post my reflections here after it's over. 



While I didn't participate in last year's Stenhouse Summer Blogstitute, I enjoyed going back recently and reading what authors like Kate Messner, Julie Ramsay and Ruth Ayres had to say about writing. This year's Blogstitute starts next week and continues through July. It will have authors like Cris Tovani, Jeff Anderson, and Peter Johnston sharing their thoughts on writing and more. I've added it to my PD plans for the summer!



In about 3 weeks, we'll be starting our second annual #CyberPD event. Cathy Mere, Jill Fisch, and I will be hosting the event on our blogs. If you're interested, you can read more about it here. This year, we'll read and reflect on Peter Johnston's Opening Minds. I have my copy sitting right here, waiting for me to get started.  



I wonder how others are doing with their summer learning. Have you already started or are you taking a little break before you dive in? (Or are you still in school?!)

  1. There are so many great opportunities for PD this summer. I even started Opening Minds tonight (Stenhouse has free preview online)
    I still have 7 more days with kids and 1 PA Day. (In Ontario we go until the last Fri. of June)
    Thanks for holding this PD and for the other info.
