I used to work with someone who knew exactly how to disagree. 'But what do you think about..' or 'Do you think that.?' Made meetings so much more constructive, cooperative and positive. #edusky #eduskyprimary

Important post on how it’s crucial to consider the ‘why’ in designing PD. Teachers must develop ‘awareness’ and ‘insight’ in order to enact great practice in the classroom, so anyone designing great PD needs to know how to activate those elements through their training.
