Does anyone have experience as an Instructional Designer? I’ve been developing an online tutor portal, and I think I’ve found a new passion! I would love to connect with others. #alwayslearning

I hope this creates a chain of resources. Free & accessible books and articles. I’ll start: ReadWorks, Newsela, Epic! …
Keep the list going! 📚🚪

@jmlukins I could see myself working in a college setting, but I wanted to hear how others have found alternative paths within their PhD journey. My heart is truly in research + developing reading interventions. ❤️📚 I could envision a PhD opening more doors than a Masters.

I would like to begin my journey of pursuing a Ph.D. in Special Education. What are some alternative career choices in the field? The competitive nature of faculty positions in this current climate is making me think outside of the box 😊

@WillavanDijk If I could teleport to and from my family in CT/VT, I would do it! 🥰 😉

@nsteve15 This is really helpful to know and it makes me feel a little less worried about the outcomes of job opportunities in the future 🙏

@cwalterswrite @ELindstromPhD Thank you! 🙏 Most of my work has been in the nonprofit world (building educational programs, grant writing, etc.). I’ve been taking the alternative highway since I’ve received my teaching degree/special Ed cert.

New to the Twitter Game 😎 I’m excited to connect with educational professionals. If anyone has any suggestions on people I should follow, drop their info below (focused primarily in the area of reading)☺️
