@fischermsu @swati1201 Hi Rebekah! I think safety is something very important to have as a priority in a district. Kids cannot focus on learning and teachers cannot focus on teaching when they are not safe. #PSTPLN #cep416

@MsLis_MSU @swati1201 Hi Alyssa! I really like that you included the idea of a district that is able to make changes when needed. I think that is very important when problems arise. #PSTPLN #cep416

@swati1201 A5: Hi I'm Amanda. I will be looking for a district that encourages collaboration between all teachers and administrators. Also, I want a district that supports inclusion and prioritizes the development of their teachers. #PSTPLN #cep416

@anna_mikkelsen @swati1201 Hi Anna! I also really like Pinterest. I have found many great ideas for lesson plans and classroom tips. Also, I love finding new worksheets and graphic organizers on TeachersPayTeachers. #PSTPLN #cep416

@autumnmanzo29 @swati1201 Hi Autumn. I also really like Pinterest. It has been a great place for me to go to get inspiration for activities and for organization ideas. #PSTPLN #cep416

@swati1201 A4: My favorite social media teaching resources are Youtube and TeachersPayTeachers. I have found it very helpful to watch teachers, especially new teachers, on Youtube. I also really like the worksheets I have found on TeachersPayTeachers. #PSTPLN #cep416

@fischermsu @swati1201 Hello Rebekah! I hadn't thought about how problem solving helps with flexibility for teachers in the classroom. Teachers can use different assistive technologies to help make accommodations for their students. #PSTPLN #cep416

@evalbertson @swati1201 Hi Ev! I agree. I think that technology is a great resource for teachers to use to solve their problems. I think our PLN are a great resource to connect to other teachers and ideas.

@swati1201 A3: Hi I'm Amanda. Problem solving is an important skill for teachers to have. Teachers need to be creative to teach their students and help them through peer and family situations. I will use technology to create unique learning expericenes for my students. #PSTPLN #cep416

@KelseyCalton @swati1201 Hi Kelsey! I hadn't thought about connecting with teachers I have already worked with. I also agree that connecting with other future teachers is a great way to build a PLN. #PSTPLN #cep416

[Amanda Walker @MissWalker2022]

@swati1201 A2: Hi everyone. I'm Amanda. I can grow my PLN by following people on social media that are teachers or accounts with information for teachers. I think it is important to reach out to teachers in the schools I will work in, as well as other new teachers like me. #PSTPLN #cep416

@WujczykAlexa @swati1201 Hi Alexa. I agree that it is very important to have conversations with the teachers around you. Escpecaily as a new teacher, the other teachers are an important resource to include in your PLN. Having conversations is a great way to start. #PSTPLN #CEP416

@SpatchyMsu @swati1201 I agree with you Stefani. Getting to know students is an important step in understanding what methods of instruction work best for them. I think it is also helpful to talk to the students past teachers and parents to get to know more ways to help that student. #PSTPLN #cep416

[Amanda Walker @MissWalker2022]

@MissThill2 @swati1201 I agree Ellory. It is hard for students to learn and understand assignments if they are being taught in ways that are not best for them. No two students learn the same, so it is important for teachers to make changes to their teaching methods. #PSTPLN #cep416

[Amanda Walker @MissWalker2022]

@swati1201 A1: To meet the needs of all students, a teacher needs to adapt their lesson plans and classroom environment to help students be successful. If accommodations are not made, students will struggle to learn, fit into the class culture and feel included. #PSTPLN #cep416
