Announcing the 2019 #cyberPD Book!

Announcing the 2019 #cyberPD Book!

Check out our NEW #cyberPD MeWe Community to learn more!
We can't wait for YOU to join in the conversations!

________________________________________________________________

It's that time of year again! Cathy and I have finally selected our #cyberPD book for our summer learning. It's never an easy decision.

Conversations go back and forth.
Ideas fly.
Standards are high.
Book stacks full of possibilities are higher.
And then ... it happens.
The just right book emerges from the stacks.

The book selection is important, but what makes this PD event truly successful are the amazing teachers and educators across the globe that support each other through the learning process.

YOU make #cyberPD a success!
Thank YOU for joining us ... whether this is your very first year, or your 9th year, or somewhere in between, we are thrilled YOU are joining in!

This summer, our #cyberPD title we will be reading is ...

Happy reading ... and writing!

Here's how #cyberPD works:

TODAY ... Order the book and start reading!

THE FIRST THREE WEEKS of JULY ... Participants read and discuss a section of the book by sharing thoughts each week around specific chapters. We have seen so many creative ways of sharing from a blog post, to visual sketch notes, to videos, to a brief post on our MeWe Community page ... it's really up to you!

**We encourage you to respond/comment on at least 3 other participants reflections. This is where the deeper learning happens!**

THE FOURTH WEEK of JULY ... A final Twitter chat to share highlights of our learning!

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. She shares how we can use research ...

soLs: a week

Slice of Life Stories hosted by the Two Writing Teachers I can't believe it's already been one whole week. Sometimes vacations are over in a blink, but other times vacations move slowly to enjoy every moment. That's how this vacation is going - slowly, but with so much to enjoy. Of course, it is hard being away from home and the every-day-usual, but what I have truly enjoyed the most is the evenings. After the girls are tucked in bed, it becomes my time to do what I choose to do because I have NO to-do list! Nothing! No cleaning, no laundry (thanks Mom!), no dinner (thanks Dad!), no dishes, no nothing. Instead I have guilt-free time to read books, browse Twitter, catch up on blog reading, scrounge...

soLs: a (proud) little secret

Slice of Life Stories hosted by the Two Writing Teachers Come here. Come closer. I have a secret to share with you. I'm really excited about it and I haven't told anyone except my mom , my hubby, and my friend, colleague, and writing buddy . I receive notifications of comments on my blog on my email at school. I think all of you will agree, it's always exciting to see that a new comment was left behind. It never gets old. Everyone loves a visitor, a voice that let's you know that you've been heard, and a comment that keeps you writing. I know I don't say it enough, but I really appreciate when YOU stop by and YOU leave a little note because YOU matter to me. Most comments pour in on Tuesday as slicers are doing their very best to read and leave a supportive note that day. A few comments tr...
