@OmillianL Hi Alyse. Finding a school that has well rounded goals and standards set for its students is important. All teaching and learning should be centered around our students needs. Teachers should also be compensated for their hard work and classroom achievements. #PSTPLN#cep416
A5: When I enter the job market I hope to find a school that is diverse and celebrates uniqueness among its students. I want all of my students to feel valued by their classroom community and believe that they can achieve anything they want to. #PSTPLN#cep416
@JingwenZhang11 Hi Jingwen. A really diverse school district definitely is something that would be ideal and interesting as a teacher. The students can be given opportunities to learn from each other as well as from their teacher. #PSTPLN#cep416
@misstringali1 Hi Marisa. I agree that WeAreTeachers sounds like a really interesting resource. As a teacher it is important to be inspired and have ideas to help students be successful. WeAreTeachers sounds like this kind of resource. #PSTPLN#cep416
@KatieMlynarek Hi Katie. CommonLit sounds like a really interesting resource. CommonLit sounds like a really interesting way to bring technology into reading. I also think that the fact that teachers can monitor students progress is important. #PSTPLN#cep416
A4: One of my favorite online teaching resources is ClassDojo. ClassDojo is a really great classroom management tool. Many teachers use this tool to monitor, manage and find ways to improve students behavior and learning. This tool really prompts student growth. #PSTPLN#cep416
@mandy_mcmurray Hi Amanda. Problem solving is definitely something that is critical to learn at a young age since we use problem solving in pretty much every aspect of our lives. I agree that technology can be a positive component to problem solving. #PSTPLN#cep416
@misstringali1 Hi Marisa. I agree that being a teacher also means being able to adapt easily to our students needs. All students understand material in different ways. A great way to ensure students success with material could be using technology. #PSTPLN#cep416
A3: Problem solving plays a large role in K-12 classes. It helps children interacts socially and helps students collaborate to come to an agreement. There are many educational online games that can promote problem solving and can be useful in the classroom #PSTPLN#cep416
@HannaJo61483108 Hi Hanna! I think a dropbox of some sort could be a great tool for educators. Lesson plans could easily be organized along with notes on what did and did not go well during certain lesson plans. #PSTPLN#cep416
@laura_egger Hi Laura! I definitely think connecting with teachers who share your interests is a good idea, but part of teaching is getting out of your comfort zone. So following teachers who might have different interests can be beneficial in your classroom as well. #PSTPLN#cep416
A2: A great way to grow your PLN is through connecting with multiple teachers on many different social media sites. The more connections someone has the more likely they will be able to reach their teaching goals. Global teacher connections can be beneficial. #PSTPLN#cep416
@AlisonMiner1 Hi Alison! I agree that all students learn differently and so teachers definitely need to use different teaching methods in order to help students be successful. I think that having the time to ensure student success is an issue in schools. #PSTPLN#cep416
@Reilly67651133 Hi Reilly! I agree that teachers definitely need to have different ways of teaching the same lesson. In order to be a successful teacher and reach professional goals our students must also be successful. #PSTPLN#cep416
A1: Hi I'm Jess! Teachers have to use different methods such as hands on activities vs visual activities vs auditory activities. This is important because everyone learns differently and by using different methods teachers will be able to reach all their students #PSTPLN#cep416
