Portrait of a learnerFor November, we launched our Portrait of a Learner Twitter Challenge and are focused on highlighting our Skillful Collaborators. Here are my favorite posts so far! Keep them coming! Each month we will choose one Portrait of a Learner competency and highlight through Twitter what that competency looks like in our classrooms and schools. If you post with the hashtags #MURSDInspires #PortraitofaLearner with your picture and/or description of the Portrait of a Learner in action, you will be entered into a raffle to win some fun prizes! Our Twitter Challenge POL competency for November will be: #Skillful Collaborator PD Opportunities

One way to build community is to participate in expansive listening where you help build connections through listening. You can use this skill with your colleagues, students, and with parents.
