Experimenting–
Reflecting on where we’ve been–
Using what’s been learned and sharing–

Marian O’Brien

“PLP has clearly opened my eyes as to what I don’t know. It’s also made me realize that I need to not only know but somehow

I need to go the distance and figure out how to USE what I know and SHARE it in my everyday classroom. Still 2 steps forward and 1 or 2 backwards. But I must say I get more and more determined with PLP watching and encouraging.”

Persevering–
Going the distance–
Sharing–
Moving out of comfort zones–
Reflecting–
Becoming co learners–
Adopting dispositions of connected learners–

Me, on the sidelines, silently cheering, whispering questions in online conversations, encouraging, nudging others to experiment too–
Facilitating wayfinding– and thinking of the subsequent possibilities for transformation of professional practice as they “go the distance”.
