International #patiopd Day July 11!

This is not your usual Professional Development, but it should be. It’s on my Patio (and maybe yours). Read about it here: Blog by Adrianne Burns

Principles of PatioPD:
1. We like learning together
2. We like our families
3. Breaking bread and camaraderie enhance creativity
4. Informal, personalized, low-stress professional development is useful, powerful, and energizing.
5. Sharing and learning exactly what we need honors professionals and learners
6. Learning collectively builds community right near us, while connecting us world-wide

Let’s get together on my patio to make this happen (e-mail me for the address jbretzmann AT bretzmanngroup.com). Then again, let’s get together on EVERYONE’S patio to make it happen.

The Setup:
We will schedule at least six in-person patio sessions that participants can choose from (July 11 is International #patiopd Day!). Additional and impromptu sessions could happen upon request.
