Before disruption...
Teachers not talking to one other much about pedagogy Innovation not necessarily known aboutor celebrated Each classroom and dept. isolated from others
Simon Varwell, "The Faculty Room"

Disrupting the discourse: Inside-out
Empowering in-house experts
Teacher leaders

Starting a PLN...
Teacher leaders connect with teacher leaders from other schools...

Disrupting the discourse: In-house PD
Designed & implemented
by faculty

Changing the conversation... Collaboration among divisions Teachers really learnand own tools(Skype, Ning, etc.) Learning via the right tool for the right situation

The change feeds more change...
Teachers invite outside
experts into their
classrooms
![Page 28: Disrupt the Old Discourse: Leveraging a Faculty's Personal Learning Communities](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56814601550346895db30d80/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The discourse expands...
Cross-discipline and cross-divisional
conversation leads to deeper
discussion about pedagogy

Modeling a PLN

Before disruption...
A different kindof school

the shift to a faculty with little
experience anywhere else?

Unexpected pushback ...I'm lurking in my girlfriend's network...
I'm still mastering the basics...
I find Twitter frustrating...
I already have a network that works for me...

PLN out of the closet....
-- Amulya Iyer,"Online Education Resources/Conversations"
"One thing I learned early on in my year at Chinquapin is that teaching is too difficult an endeavor to take on in isolation. For all teachers, but especially first year teachers, relying on colleagues in your school and outside of your school is imperative."
