(Note: I wrote this post for my preservice teachers looking to complete their required professional development experience for my course(s), but then I thought: why not make it general enough to share with the world? I have also tagged it under the cognitive coaching label because it parallels the structure of a coaching conversation: reflect on your goals, set a focus for growth, articulate an action plan, implement it, and reflect on what you have learned.)
Looking for meaningful professional development? Have you tried Twitter? If not, I hope this post might help you (a) decide where you want to go and (b) learn about some social media options for getting what you need.
First, if you haven't already, I suggest you spend a few minutes brainstorming what you want to learn more about
:
- What are some of your strengths?
- What are some areas where you want to learn more?

| It can be hard to hold yourself still... try setting a timer. |
Look back over your list: What stands out to you? What are your priorities? What do you most want to learn more about? Set some goals for your professional growth.
