Over the years, I have collected and curated individuals, organizations, and resources which have all helped me (and continue to help me) be a better teacher and person.
**Warning! Twitter Plug Below!**
No, I do not own stocks in Twitter…I just appreciate the benefits of having an account both on a personal and professional level. If you do not already have a Twitter account, it is my recommendation that you start one. The network I have built, the resources I have acquired, and the support I receive on the platform is incredible. If you would like help in getting started, I would be more than willing to help you out 🙂
