As a preface to this post, my belief is that deep learning does not occur through sit and get. Deep learning occurs through experiential, authentic, interactive, collaborative instructional processes. If deep learning is desired for teacher professional development, then it should reflect best practices for teaching and learning. Professional learning must focus on creating safe…

Professional development ... goes beyond the term 'training' with its implications of learning skills, and encompasses a definition that includes formal and informal means of helping teachers not only learn new skills but also develop new insights into pedagogy and their own practice, and explore new or advanced understandings of content and resources. [This] definition of professional development includes support for teachers as they encounter the challenges that come with putting into practice their evolving understandings about the use of technology to support inquiry-based learning.... Current technologies offer resources to meet these challenges and provide teachers with a cluster of supports that help them continue to grow in their professional skills, understandings, and interests."

There are many ways that teachers can reach out and connect with their colleagues and build a more collaborative atmosphere in their schools. We’ve come up with just a few here, but feel free to share your own experiences and ideas that can help other educators to connect and ultimately improve the quality of instruction they can offer students.
- GET ON THE SAME PAGE. - TEACH AND LEARN FROM EACH OTHER. - COLLABORATE ON LESSON PLANS. - SHARE WHAT WORKS. - START A BLOG. - BUILD YOUR OWN SOCIAL NETWORK. - TAKE ON BIG PROJECTS. - GET FEEDBACK. - CREATE A PERSONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY. - SCHEDULE WEEKLY GET-TOGETHERS. - WORK TOGETHER TO SOLVE PROBLEMS. - BECOME A TEACHER-LEADER. - KEEP YOUR DOOR OPEN. - ADOPT A TEAM MENTALITY. - MAKE TIME FOR CHATTING. - ASK FOR HELP. - DON’T SKIP THE CAFETERIA. - MERGE CLASSROOMS. - TRY CO-TEACHING. - TAKE CLASSES TOGETHER. - FIND A MENTOR. - PUT THE KIBOSH ON NEGATIVITY. - DON’T WAIT FOR OTHERS TO MAKE THE FIRST MOVE. - BE OPEN TO NEW IDEAS. - REACH OUT TO THE LARGER EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY
Your colleagues can be more than just the teachers at your own school. If you want a wider view, reach out to those at other schools or in administration. It never hurts to know more people and to learn the methods they’re using in their schools.

This is an interesting workshop presentation given at #converge11 by Joyce Seitzinger. It has a focus on curation in EduTech but is generic as well in a lot of aspects.
In particular, I love the distinction she makes from slide 22 onward between all types of "curators": a fun way of showing what curation best practices should be all about. Via catspyjamasnz, Guillaume Decugis

I've been exploring the idea of 'the social media classroom' and how I view teachers with an emerging role as curators, but also teaching student the skills of curation so they can get the right resources in an age of ubiquitous information. I'll have to keep in touch.

A good majority of northern hemisphere and international schools are winding down the 2011-12 school year, and doors will be closing as the students and teachers take off on their summer adventures. Here is a list of great sites for kids and teachers to keep you happily productive and learning this summer.

“I touch the future. I teach.” – Christina McAuliffe
Teaching is an important and honourable occupation that demands commitment. There are miracles, learning, healing, laughter, sharing and love every day in classrooms all around the world.
A teacher has the opportunity to impact on students’ lives in a positive way; this is a huge privilege that shouldn’t be taken lightly.
