The two people I am following are interesting people concerning education. Since I am wanting to change careers, these two people have some insight on the educational field. One is on elementary education and the other is on middle school. You can never have too much information when it comes to learning everything you can to make yourself a better person/teacher. There is so much information out there. Jane E Marko has much information to share on lesson plans and any other type of things she wants to share. She has so much knowledge on primary and secondary education. She loves to inspire fellow teachers with knowledge on conferences and articles that will expand your thoughts on teaching.
Teacher Sabrina is more about rights and what is happening out there in the educational field. She is an advocate for teachers, kids and communities. She feels that teacher's are role models. She is for social justice in public education. One of the books she recommends is Education and Capitalism, Struggles for Learning and Liberation.
Both have lots to share with the public. I probably could have picked ten more people to follow, but these two stood out a bit more than the others. Jane E. Marko has FB entries which tell you steps in how to become a great teacher. I think even if you do not want to go into this field, these two have some great tips in understanding the public. You can learn that for any field that you are going into.
With my wanting to change careers in my life, role models are very important to have in my life. Both of these figures have different takes on the education field. Jane is one for using creativity and inspiration to obtain your goals. I think that Sabrina Stevens feels the same way, but she is more about rights and what we want society to support for us in public schools. It is all about rights and what we need to have our children succeed. Schools are changing so rapidly with rules and regulations, it is hard to keep them straight. These two figure heads help with their ideas. Sabrina is constantly tweeting her ideas along with websites to check out. So much information out there to stay on top of, but Sabrina follows it to the best of her ability.
Jane, on the other hand, finds conferences that enable you to better yourself and your classroom. She is more on learning more so that you can give that information to your classroom. She is an education consultant.
With just these two to follow, so much information is put out there that it is hard to stay on top of it all. I would love to meet both of these people to pick their brains on how they got into the education field and how they got to the point in their lives to help others like myself.
