 * = In my professional Twitter, I follow both professional organizations and first grade teachers. I also follow additional twitters based around the content I teach. I follow professional organizations like the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), and the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC), because they support my professional growth. I also follow the Next Generation Science Standards, the new national science standards; I believe following this organization will support me with developing science lesson plans next fall. In addition, I follow other first grade teachers. This is my first year teaching first grade, and moving from third grade to first grade is a big jump. I hope to find teaching resources and strategies from the other first grade teachers I follow. Because of the Common Core Standards, the information I gain from teachers all over the country will be more applicable to my teaching. ||
