 EDU 5506 Action Plan Question 1: Reflect on how your personal learning network has changed and grown during the course of this workshop.  Discuss your plans for how you plan to continue to grow your learning network and how you hope to contribute to the professional learning of your administrative colleagues .  My personal learning network (PLN) has drastically changed throughout the duration of this course.  I knew a professional learning network consisted of like-minded people of similar interests, but until enrolling in this course, I often thought those like minded individuals came from your own school district.  My eyes have been opened to all of the various methods PLNs can be utilized.  Since the beginning of this course, I have learned how to build and implement a blog, podcast, and have reached out to new people to follow on my twitter handle.  Some people on Twitter followed me back as well.   Although I completed the requirements ...

  Every student at OHS has a purpose. They will all accomplish BIG THINGS. All BIG things come from small beginnings. Tiny decisions are the seeds that habits grow from that help them achieve the big things. Let's support our students in making the single, tiny decisions that lead to the habits that enable their BIG THINGS.

  We are beginning Week 8 of our #ACTforImpACT campaign. Let's continue to explicitly highlight our high impact skills within our content areas. Many of you are incorporating Bellringers and test taking strategies into your lessons. This will make a huge ImpACT on test day. We want our students to understand the importance of the PreACT and ACT. Encouragement and confidence goes a long way! Let's remind them that they have been working on these skills all year, and it's getting time to show what they know. Thank you for your collaborative efforts with #ACTforImpACT! 17 school days until the ACT
