@ShaneSafir I am joining from TN! I think leading for equity means teaching to every student as if each one is capable of the highest potential #weleaded
@MrsMoranb I agree that re-evaluating the standards to focus more on what works in the classroom would be less frustrating for teachers, especially beginners. #ap3040
@candi_hardin A supportive workplace is very important for beginning teachers so they fit in and build relationships, collaborate lessons, and discuss student progress with each other in order to become connected. #ap3040
A3 the salary teachers make doesnt shock me because I have been aware since I chose this field, the best way to make more money as a teacher is to get your masters in teaching or become a coach on the side#ap3040
A1 A reason many beginning teachers quit is bc they have not had enough time to become comfortable with their role in the school. A new teacher should spend time becoming involved, making relationships with students and other teachers, and make their school a second home. #ap3040
@DestaneeParker I like that idea, I think it allows students to have a voice in something. Students also love social media so they will be on Instagram all night anyway! They can participate as they scroll!
@drzimmerle A4 I think you could definitely use Instagram to explore educational pages. There are a great deal of facts and information in captions, and on videos both. Classes in history and art could benefit the most on Instagram in my opinion. #ap3040
@drzimmerle A3 I think using twitter as a professional could have it's negatives because students can watch your every retweet, like, comment, so every message you relay must be appropriate. Personal and professional pages should be kept separate to ensure a professional public image#ap3040
@drzimmerle A2 I have used the padlet website to connect with my fellow classmates that are aspiring teachers, and Pinterest and youtube for ideas on teaching lessons. I've also used gmail for emailing teachers over homework and as a dropbox. #ap3040
@drzimmerle A1 Having a PLN is helpful as a teacher because you can connect with other teachers and students, explore new topics and lesson plans, and build a public profile so people can get to know you. Students also have the ability to contact their teachers and classmates whenever#ap3040
