Non-traditional forms of professional learning such as the use of social media and Edcamps are valued, not dismissed.

Even if you send out a group email for people to meet at a coffee shop on a particular afternoon, you’re technically starting an unconference. If you’re looking for something more formal, the same kind of gathering can take place at a school site, ideally one with Wi-Fi and at least a few accessible classrooms.

How school leaders run faculty meetings and inservice time should be a direct reflection of the type of instruction they are seeking in the classroom.
