Teachers love this approach to professional development as they can work with us individually and don’t have the stress of preparing lessons for a full day of being away from their students in order to learn something new.

I put the results of the teachers’ requests into Wordle.  Wordle is a word cloud generator.  If words are repeated, then wordle makes the size of that word larger.

Its not hard to tell what teachers in our District are interested in!
