[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Equity is discussed in nearly every PD we have. It is overkill because it’s the trendy topic. A few years ago it was restorative practices. PDs need to be about actual teaching practices and not the flavor of the year. [/quote]

The old birds like this who don't care about equity will hopefully retire soon.[/quote]

I am a "young" bird and I agree with the first poster.  It is every other word right now.  Next year it will be something different, thank goodness.  I'm over "equity."[/quote]

NP. It’s not about being old and needing to retire. It’s about being experienced and having gone through the PD flavor of the month. Everything is about equity and awareness this year but nothing is a practical application for the classroom. A few years ago the same happened with restorative justice. Before that it was PBLs and cooperative learning. And before that it was recognizing learning disabilities and being aware of the different types of intelligence.

All important topics, but we sit through hours of PD at the philosophical level and no one discusses practical applications in the classroom. [/quote]
