Get Ready for the 5th Annual #cyberPD Event



_____________________________________


#cyberPD is THE one online learning event that I don't want to miss every summer.  I have participated in the previous four #cyberPD events and I am as excited as ever to be co-hosting (my second year) with Cathy Mere and Laura Komos the 5th annual #cyberPD event.

#cyberPD provides me the opportunity to ...
Read a book with colleagues across the world.
Share my thoughts, questions, wonders, and thinking.
Converse about the book via blogs, comments, the Google Community and Twitter.
Learn from many colleagues who push my thinking forward.
Gain insights and ideas to take back to my classroom.
Slowly grow together over a long summer month.
Make connections that will lead to more learning in the future.

It's quite an amazing experience, and I truly hope that YOU are joining in!  Beginning next week -- the week of July 6th -- we are reading and sharing our thoughts about the book hot off the presses:

An Interview with Educator/Momma/Writer Ruth Ayres Celebrating #EnticingWriters + Giveaway!

I love sharing book titles with close friends, so I'm happy you are here! I want to share a book that you must add to your to-be-read list. Ruth Ayres has a brand new book titled  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers   published by Stenhouse Publishers. It's another must read from Ruth. There are many professional development books available to learn about mastering our craft of teaching.   However, there are only a few that make a true impact -- and this is one book that weaves raw truth, research, practical ideas, and story all in one {cute} little package.  In  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers , Ruth allows her worlds to collide during the creation:  "In this book, I entwine my three story lines as educator, momma, and writer." (p. 6) And she does this in an amazing way through sharing stories of her family, adoption, children living in hard places -- and doing their best  -- and healing.
