PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERIES

In this activity, teachers independently set up their blogs using a video tutorial.  There is an expectation that teachers set a learning goal and document that learning.  Traditionally, teachers have journaled about their professional growth in a Google Document. Instead of journaling in a Google Document, teachers create their own learning blogs.  The blogs is set up to be viewed privately by his/her administrator, but the teacher may choose to make it public at any time based on the district’s guidelines.  The goals are assessed using Colorado’s Teaching Quality Standards (CDE, n.d.).
