We distributed the board to our middle school staff at the beginning of the school year, with the expectation that each teacher would have at least one "Bingo" at the end of the school year by completing the PD in the squares. Over-achieving teachers who cover the whole board will get a special prize. Several times throughout the school year, teachers shared their PD experiences with their peers at faculty meetings. Our hope is that teachers start thinking outside the PD box. We will gauge the success of this experiment when teachers do their final share out at the end of the school year.
There are some pretty fun ideas on here! Did they have to share or "prove" that they did something in any way specific?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Heidi. They will be doing a share out next month. We are using the honor system this time around rather than require them to turn in proof. We'll see how it goes...
DeleteHi Nanci! This is a great idea, small PD for teachers when they have time. I'd love to know how the share out goes. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI really like this idea to get PD in front of staff. I think a combination of this and a badging system could really motivate staff to pursue meaningful PD and then identify where their strengths are to help peers. Thanks for sharing!
