Plan Like a Pirate (#PlanLAP) Twitter Slow Chat

It's like FREE PD Every Single Month!

Be prepared to engage in a unique and powerful professional development experience that will help transform your teaching career and catapult you and your classroom to greatness!

How can I participate in the #PlanLAP Monthlong Twitter Workshop?

On the first Monday of every month, the #PlanLAP Twitter PLC will begin a deep dive into a chosen topic in education. Each week a connected question, video, resource, blog post, or pondering will be posted so that participants can respond throughout the week, always using the #PlanLAP hashtag, of course! 

For three additional Mondays, new related questions or materials will be shared so participants can continue to engage with the monthly topic on a deeper level.

What is the structure of the #PlanLAP Monthlong Slow Chat?

Questions and materials will be shared/posted from @DHarrisEdS and further questions and comments can be posed by the facilitator or other participants to encourage critical thinking about their personal and professional growth within the context of the month's topic.
