Austin, TX. - With apps for everything from annotating poetry to understanding literature through hip hop, it might have seemed teachers in attendance at the sprawling South by Southwest.edu (SXSW) festival last week were hungry for new tools and technology.
One school district changed the standard in Professional Development; and they did it with a 'Technology Academy.' Imagine you need to learn how to fly a jet. You're given a link that describes how and an online video tutorial...nervous? Now imagine you're being taught by a fighter pilot in a small class, and that class is with your peers.

By Matt Levinson It's connected educator month. There's a flurry of activity among teachers and administrators looking to connect through Twitter and other social media to advance their learning, especially as a new school year looms. As schools gear up and prepare for a new school year with technology increasingly ubiquitous, now's the time to consider how schools can create a positive impact with technology.

"In the beginner's mind, there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few." - Zen monk Shunryu Suzuki Twenty-eight boundless students have just left my classroom. Some of their energy still hangs in the ceiling tiles after 48 minutes of planning, plotting, and scheming to carry out their idea to put on a Literary Character Dinner Party featuring figures we've read throughout the year.

"Why did I want to be a teacher?" We all face burnout, sometimes on a daily basis, and in my case, especially after fourth period. Most of the time, we can pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off, and go back to the drawing board to try another strategy to find success with student learning.

Teaching is a lot like acting, a high-energy, performance profession that requires a person to act as a role model. But when teachers go through training and professional development, the performance aspect of the job is rarely emphasized or taught. Acknowledging this aspect could be a missed opportunity to restructure ways teachers learn new skills and tactics.
This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending another Edcamp. This one makes 7 for me. #EdcampElon was another event in a long like of teacher-driven professional development that can have a lasting impact on the learning of all who attend. Don't know what an Edcamp is or looks like?
Imagine a map of what a learner needs to know, different ways to learn it, and a collection of their demonstrations of competence. You're probably picturing a blended learning environment for students. Instead, imagine that every teacher has access to their own professional map--reflecting common expectations differentiated by speciality, subject, level, and school type--that offers a clear description of what teachers should know and be able to do.
“You are the only one in your school to speak up at faculty meetings (although many people who remained silent come up to you afterward to tell you how happy they are you did).”
“You tell administrators at your school what you really think, not what they want to hear.”

Almost three months have now passed since Ofsted announced the ground-breaking news, that inspectors would no longer be grading individual lessons. Except that it wasn't that ground-breaking. Apparently this had been their instructions since 2009. Who knew? Yet despite this, it is "still possible for inspectors to record a graded evaluation, where sufficient evidence has...
It's spring: I feel alternately exhausted from the year that's moving quickly to a close, and a sense of renewal that takes its cue from the seasonal weather and the end of winter. It was a perfect time to visit my mentor, Madeleine Ray, who advised me during and beyond my time as a graduate student at Bank Street College.
One of the best ways a tech coach can reach teachers is to stop talking about technology. It may seem counterintuitive, but focusing on technology can be alienating, especially for the skeptics and reluctant adopters.
I'm just going to come out and say it: I'm burnt out. I didn't realize I was burning out. I only noticed when it was too late. I've always been the type of teacher who's tired at the end of the school year because I've given my all -- every day -- for the past nine months.
