I agree that most PD happens in the classroom, even if we're importing ideas from the outside, from our precious PLN, conferences or external reading. An idea is just an idea until we experiment and learn, and as you said, most of our learning comes from our students.<br /><br />I really enjoyed the post, Didem !

I love that you see how learning is an integral answer to that questions - one which I'd be ecstatic if someone I interviewed mentioned during the interview itself. Teaching and learning are intertwined and reversible, of course and how great it is to learn, accept and promote that so early in a career.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338834914703775055.post-1872310582975323082011-08-24T20:18:17.372+03:002011-08-24T20:18:17.372+03:00Thanks for this great post Didem.

It's hard to belive that it is your first ever post and I strongly urge you to start your own blog (as I strongly urge every teacher I meet who hasn't got a blog already!)<br /><br />It's great to see that you are conscious of your own professional development at such an early stage in your career and also that you are already challenging your own beliefs. I think you have a bright career ahead of you. :)<br /><br />I agree 100% about sharing what we learn with those around us. Online PLNs are great but our biggest immediate source of learning remains the teachers we work with every day and I think many staffrooms around the world need to see more sharing and discussing of ideas.<br /><br />Thanks again for the great post!DaveDodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896292275243412346noreply@blogger.com
