What did I learn at this training?

I learned that PLCs need to work for the group that is having them.  Which is to say that there is not a 'one size fits all' template for PLCs, and the importance of being flexible.  PLCs also need to have a list of norms so that all members are on the same page.  Members need to be respectful of one another and strive to achieve balance and confidentiality.  

During this training I liked that we were given some concrete steps (study, do, analyze, etc) that aligns not only with design thinking but also helped our teachers understand a bit better what the 4 questions of a PLC look like in action. 

La importancia de establecer las norams en los grupos de PLC. Estas deben tener unos  componentes  que todo el grupo crea inportante y viva en el team . 

I found the sessions to be very informative.  Tony's session about essay writing and grading was the one that was the most useful in my teaching practice.  He provided many resources that I will use as well as valuable insight from a more experienced teacher.  Hector's session was not very applicable to my own course, however I found it very interesting to compare his experience in Israel with what I know about the Colombian educational context.  Furthermore, he provided fascinating examples of project-based learning.  Rafael's session was very interesting just for my own general knowledge.  Even though I am not teaching Ancient Rome this year, I very possibly may teach it again in the future.  Furthermore, he provided a very interesting example of how to use one's own experiences and travel photographs in a useful way in class to engage students.
