I love the idea of teachers having access to professional development online. It is a way for teachers who want to reach out and LEARN to be able to! Today I watched to previously recorded sessions, and though I hate hate hate the boring slide format of both of them, I pulled tons of information from them.
The first online PD I participated in was How to Fund Your Classroom Projects. This webinar coached teachers on how to use DonorsChoose.org. I liked it so much that you can access my own donorschoose.org proposal here.
The second online PD I participated in was Breaking the Cycle of Underachievement, which is a topic near and dear to my heart. Because I teach in a school district who has lots of at risk or low SES kids, I found all of the information presented to be highly useful, and I recommend any teacher venturing into a title 1 School to look it up. I also recommend you read to completion Ruby Payne's book The Frame Work of Poverty. It really hits the nail on the head when it come to students from struggling backgrounds.
I accessed my online PD from searching Pinterest... but I will post links to these two awesome opportunities!
