We continue to learn more about last night's attacks in Georgia. This much is clear: The need to address anti-Asian racism and violence is urgent. Our hearts are with the families of last night's victims and AAPI communities nationwide who are hurting. https://t.co/2XD2Sabr9I

Many things have changed in the past quarter century. One thing that hasn't? MSU ranking #1 in the U.S. for elementary and secondary education. https://t.co/UsB3camfG7

@RosieinEdu Those are good goals! A friend once told me, there are no cushy teaching jobs. No matter where you teach it is hard work and kids need you! Good luck! #PSTPLN #cep416

@MsDetweiler Teaching abroad would be such an amazing experience! You should seriously think about it before you're tied down with kids 😊 (like me). #PSTPLN #cep416

A5: I would love my future school district to be culturally diverse, enabling me to use my #TESOL training, but as a single mom I also need to consider: location, schedule, and commute. #FamilyFirst #PSTPLN #cep416

@AMiesowicz I have never heard of classdojo. I will need to check that out, thanks! #PSTPLN #cep416

@BarAutumn I've never heard of hour of code. I will certainly be checking that out! Thanks Autumn! #PSTPLN #cep416

I just came across the hashtag #MichiganLiteracy. So many good resources! #PSTPLN #PSTPLNBC #cep416

[Laura Egger @laura_egger]

A2: Education resources specifically for #TESOL that I have found helpful are @ColorinColorado and @CUNY_NYSIEB. If I get to work with #emergentbilinguals in the future I will definitely refer to these. #PSTPLN #cep416

@heathermcardle5 @tyLanasaurusrex I think you're right Heather! Students need to learn ways to solve prolems that are the most effective for them. Modeling different approaches will help them see that the are multiple ways of reaching a goal. #PSTPLN #cep416

@MarissaOtto11 @tyLanasaurusrex Hi Marissa! You make a great point that problem solving is not confined to just the areas of math and science (as some may stress). Students need to develop problem solving skills in all subject areas as well as how to handle problems that come up in their lives. #PSTPLN #cep416

[Laura Egger @laura_egger]

A3: I want to create a classroom environment that allows students to recognize problems and give them creative tools to solve them. Teaching empathy & collaboration will be key. Failure is not the end but a place to refine, perfect, and grow. #PSTPLN #cep416 #designthinking

I love listening to podcasts while I dive or walk to class. Code Switch is my latest fav. #alwayslearning #newperspectives #PSTPLN #PSTPLNBC #cep416 https://t.co/FqrA1TW47X

@weinerabby @tyLanasaurusrex It is a great idea to make connections with people in other parts of the country (or even around the world). That can be such a good way in getting different perspectives. #PSTPLN #cep416 #PSTPLNBC

[Laura Egger @laura_egger]

@SamanthaPytel @tyLanasaurusrex You make a good point that it's important to incorporate people with other opinions and resources than yours. #PSTPLN #cep416 #PSTPLNBC

[Laura Egger @laura_egger]

A2: Start with people that you know. Are they online? Who do they follow? Who would they recommend connecting with? Look for familiar names within your interests: arts integration, stem, early literacy, emergent bilinguals. Take your time. #PSTPLN #cep416

[Laura Egger @laura_egger]

@MrLostetter @tyLanasaurusrex I love the idea about a relationship bank! It really speaks to intentionality which is what we need to do to make real connections with our students. #PSTPLN #cep416 #PSTPLNBC

[Laura Egger @laura_egger]

@RosieinEdu Hi Rosie! I love how you put the focus on the unique qualities of each student. I'm sure it will be more of a time commitment, but like you said, it shows we care about our students! #PSTPLN #cep416 #PSTPLNBC

[Laura Egger @laura_egger]

A1: Hi! My name is Laura. Meeting all students needs in the classroom can be reached when we create flexible learning environments where we give the students choice in how they will reach a common objective. #PSTPLN #cep416
