Tonight's #edchatnz on twitter is all about how learner agency applies to teachers. One major area that comes up for discussion about Teacher Agency regularly is around our own professional development. How much choice, voice and accountability there should be for teachers and their own professional learning.
Jackie Gerstein has written a brilliant post on this topic called: Teacher Agency: Self-Directed Professional Development. I really like the sections towards the end where various forms of professional development are mentioned, plans for implementing these new ideas and how accountable we should be for following through on these plans.
Enjoy the reading and join in the discussion at 8.30 tonight with your perspective. If you read this after the chat has occurred feel free to add your thoughts in the comments on this post.
