Build the practice before you teach the practice.

PD with reweave does not add another thing to the pile. Educators experience the same noticing, the same wondering, the same active engagement they want their learners to feel. The work is the modeling.

What a reweave PD session looks like.

No prep. No worksheet. One film, real conversation, optional collaborative weave.

Step one

Watch together.

5 to 8 minutes

Project a wordless film on the main screen. No narration, no captions. Just one real person's life. Everyone in the room enters at the same time, in the same way.

Step two

Notice and discuss.

20 to 30 minutes

Three questions are enough. What did you notice? What surprised you? What does this person make you wonder about your own learners? Practice the noticing you want them to practice.

Step three

Weave a lesson collaboratively.

20 to 30 minutes (optional)

With a Pro account, the room can weave a lesson together. Pick a subject, type a prompt, watch Pro find the people whose stories carry that idea. Walk out with something usable.

why this works for PD

Tony Wagner on why it has to be embedded.

"

The wordless videos are not passive. You have to construct an understanding by asking questions, by reflecting and talking with your peers around a table about what you just saw and what it meant. You have to construct a deeper understanding. It's active learning.

We can't teach these things as add-ons. It's got to be embedded.

PD questions

A few honest answers for facilitators.

How long does a PD session with reweave take?
A focused session takes 45 to 90 minutes. Watch a film (5 to 8 min), discuss together (20 to 30 min), and optionally weave a lesson collaboratively (20 to 30 min). The format scales up or down depending on how many films you stack.
Do PD participants need accounts on reweave?
No. The films are free to watch and require no account. Only the facilitator needs a Pro account to weave lessons collaboratively. The session can be projected on one screen for the whole room.
How do I facilitate a discussion after the film?
The film does most of the work. Three questions are usually enough: What did you notice? What surprised you? What does this person make you wonder about your own learners? The point is not to arrive at an answer, it is to practice noticing together.
Can this replace our existing PD structure?
It can replace it, augment it, or run alongside it. Many educators use reweave PD sessions as the discussion and reflection portion of a larger PD day, and use existing materials for the standards and curriculum portions.
Does it work for large groups?
Yes. Project the film on a main screen, then break into small table groups for discussion. The film equalizes the room, every participant enters at the same time with the same information regardless of language background.
Is there a version for district scale PD?
Yes. Pro accounts include team library and tapestry features that let facilitators share lessons with their PD cohort. For larger districts running PD at scale, see team options.
