Final 12 months, throughout our ultimate Studying Specialist Assembly, we needed to share our Impression Tales. This 12 months, this was completed slightly otherwise, however for some time now, I’ve stated that #LiteracyInTheLoo can be a part of my story. I’ve even made it part of my modified Impression Story for this 12 months.
There are various issues that I really like about this unconventional PD.
- Itβs aware of what educators are on the lookout for on the time wherein they want it. I attempt to hearken to subjects of debate across the faculty. What do folks wish to study extra about? What sources may they want? Then I base the #LiteracyInTheLoo studying for that week on these conversations. Figuring out that there are Ok-8 educators accessing these posts, I strive to consider guiding questions or key factors that can assist everybody see a necessity for the publish.
I really feel such pleasure when lecturers cease me within the hallway to ask me in regards to the sources & concepts shard in #literacyintheloo. By no means have I had extra educators discover & use new sources, but in addition replicate on them. I am beginning to assume that the toilet is the best house for studying.π

- Itβs spreading. After I first began #LiteracyInTheLoo, I took an thought from one of many Kindergarten Lecturers, and I created a βDunsiger Driveβ: a OneDrive folder wherein I place digital copies of the entire posts. Then folks can simply entry them later. I made a decision to share this Drive with the opposite Studying Specialists. I really like listening to from folks in numerous Board roles β from superintendents to consultants to Speech Pathologists β that they’re scanning the codes, but in addition seeing the posts at colleges throughout the Board. Again in 2009, I began to weblog with the hope of sharing my pondering and studying with others, whereas additionally connecting with different folks to help my studying. #LiteracyInTheLoo permits for this identical pleasure round sharing and studying, however with a distinct platform and otherwise.
Our Speech Pathologist requested me lately if I used to be the one behind the #literacyintheloo. I stated that I used to be. She stated that she scans the codes each time she is available in, however she’s began seeing them at different colleges too. She loves that that is rising. Me too! π #dailyjoy

- It may evolve with ease. The thought of #LiteracyInTheLoo is so easy that it could possibly simply evolve based mostly on suggestions from educators. That is what occurred after I created the βDunsiger Driveβ in addition to the pull-off tabs. Itβs additionally what occurred after I moved from Literacy within the Lavatory to Literacy OUTSIDE of the Lavatory. My hope is that each educator can get what they want in the best way wherein they want it.
I do have a OneDrive #literacyintheloo folder, however this trainer defined how she does higher with paper. We differentiate for college kids. This binder can be my DI for employees. (Plus, I all the time respect employees voice, and am grateful that they assist me make #literacyintheloo higher!)

There may be nonetheless one other month left of college. Iβm desirous to see the place this studying goes subsequent. I’ve to marvel if #LiteracyInTheLoo is a low-stress type of sharing and PD, which will increase engagement and dialog across the sources. What do you assume? Thanks Laura and Doug for uplifting me to begin this challenge and earn my new nickname! π
At this time, I used to be requested by a guide, βAre you the #literacyintheloo particular person?β π If weβre doing an influence story this 12 months, this has been my influence.
