Project Zero Pittsburgh: Learning w/ Ron Richhart & Jessica Ross (Agency by Design)

Today was Project Zero Pittsburgh #pz_pgh. I worked with colleagues from schools across southwestern Pennsylvania in today's event at Quaker Valley. We collaborated on ways to make thinking visible--it was enlightening. My immediate take-away from a professional development conference as this is to become a more mindful practitioner of the art of teaching...

Additionally, I've found my way back to the blog! I took a (brief*) hiatus after leaving my post of eight school years  at my alma mater, Trinity Area, and accepting my new position as a Cultural Literacy teacher at Holy Family Academy, an innovative independent Catholic school in Pittsburgh. Needless to say, this has been a year of immense personal & professional growth--I count myself most fortunate, indeed. I will have a number of stories to share in the coming weeks...

For now, though, let's just say that it's good to be back on the blog!

In response to a request from my new friend, Charles @sf_k5enrichment, I've posted my #SketchNotes from #pz_pgh. 

Enjoy!
