It seems to me that your team is really thinking deeply about how your faculty learns. Your GROW initiative has played a part in this, but you all have taken its goals to new heights.
 * Comments from Susan (3/14): **

Are your questions to your faculty really something along these lines: How do you grow as a learner-educator? From whom do you learn? Where do you go to learn? Would you like to learn beyond the walls of your school? If so, how do you think this will benefit you, your students, your colleagues? When does your learning stop or get hung up? How could you expand your opportunities to learn by leveraging a PLN?

I think your team sees the power of the PLN as being a way not to have the learning stop. What do you think? Hmmm...PLNs: Where the Learning Never Stops... Does that capture what you are after? What you want to share with your faculty? Knowing them as you do, what is the best way to convince them of this?
