If you are like me, the last thing that you may be interested in is adding to your current responsibilities as a teacher. With many teachers prepping for multiple classes and facing increasing stress, the job of an educator can oftentimes feel overwhelming. After reading 3 Steps For Building A Professional Learning Network, I thought this was a great idea but how would I find the time? I had no additional capacity for one more task. Then it hit me. My perspective may be all wrong. While I was in fact working with the teachers on my campus, I was not working with any teachers outside of my campus, therefore, I limited my exposure to the shared ideas. Collaborating with colleagues on campus is necessary and convenient but the learning community at-large has so much more to offer. Because of this understanding, I have now decided to designate twenty minutes a week to collaborate and learn outside of my bubble. I’m not adding time to my day but I am adjusting the amount of time I dedicated towards on campus collaborating. Therefore, I have joined the groups below based on content and my areas of interest.
History Groups
Share content ideas related to U.S. History to include content and new ways to explain content.
Middle school social studies group.
Technology
General Education
