RIOSUPTwords

RIOSUPTwords is another in a line of new tumblr blogs I am experimenting with.

Words mean alot to me.

Words often have multiple meanings and need context to understand what they are conveying… So this little blog is a place to come to think about words that important in the Rio School District

Here are some words we have been using and th8inking about lately:

World Class

Ranking among the foremost in the world; of an international standard of excellence; of the highest order: a world-class figure skater.

Professionals Developing…not Professional Development

Professional development..to teachers.. usually means workshops, or one time events, sometimes a series of events intended to show teachers how to do something they are not already doing or something someone else thinks they need to be doing. Its seen as a noun.

When we think about Professionals Developing (thanks Dr. Yeager) we are thinking about a process.. or verb….. that hopefully is more reflective than sausage making.

Sausage making

Meaning making
