To be an effective teacher, it is important to be continuously learning and sharing new ideas. Participating in the professional community is a great way for teachers to share ideas with other teachers. There are many different ways for teachers to participate in the professional community, whether it be going to edcamps, participating in online discussion, or just talking with other teachers about what is working well in their classrooms. All of this idea sharing leads to all of the teachers working together to develop best practice for engaging all of the students in learning.
As a teacher, I plan to engage in the professional community within my school district as well as throughout the larger teaching community. One of the best ways that I plan to engage in the teaching community is through twitter chats. In tech of instruction, I have learned about the importance of building a PLN and connecting with teachers from all over through twitter. In twitter chats, a proctor asks a questions, and teachers from all over are able to answer the questions and bounce ideas off of each other. This connection gives me insight into what other teachers are doing in their classroom and how they are able to help their students to learn. This idea sharing also gives me ideas for how I can set up my classroom and how I can organize my lessons to be as effective as possible.
