Digital Connection + Professional Development
Whether you are a pre-service or practicing teacher, there is so much to be learned from others via the groups, conferences, and websites mentioned below. Subscribe to the newsletters, join the groups, and attend the free webinars — these are easy ways to gain invaluable, often free, information!
In an effort not to double-list resources, those mentioned in interviews or history pages are included within those pages, but not necessarily here. Explore those other sections to learn more!
This section will be focusing on language education-specific resources.
Let’s help each other — if you know of other resources of groups, please send them to me so they can be added to this page! A lot of the resources below are Spanish-skewed because that is the community I interact with, so I would love to include other voices!
There are so many great language educators to follow on Instagram. I learn so much from the people I follow, and it is a great way to learn about what day-to-day life looks like as a language educator!
