2021 AFT TEACH Conference

Hi all! I’m Mike Berstein and am the digital literacy/TTL for a k-8 school in south Philadelphia. We learn a large range of subjects in my class, from online safety and cyber citizenship to coding, web design and 3d printing! Hoping to learn more at the conference this year of other tools that could be used for online learning that is easily portable to the physical classroom as we FINALLY become face to face once more!

I am a 7th grade Language Arts teacher in Oregon. I am really interested in the topic of rebuilding after COVID-19. I think this will not only be valuable for my students but for myself as well. I need to find my "new" groove.

I'm an elementary educator studying for my master of the arts in teaching degree from USF. I live in Sarasota, FL.

I am a high school English teacher and am looking forward to learning about new tools and techniques.

Interested in early childhood sped supports.

Prior to teaching in my current school of 1400 high school students, I worked in two different districts, both with "at-risk" clientele. It amazes me that the kids I teach today, would have been in those outreach schools, our students are struggling increasingly and it is becoming "normal". I teach a variety of grade 10-12 science classes (general science and biology) at the upper academic levels, as well as forensic science and 3 different psychology classes. I am looking forward to the opportunity to learn more about what the education landscape may look like going forward, and how we can continue to foster mental health for all of our students.

I am a Science Instructor/Professor in the Public School Education on the high school and higher education arena. I'm looking to gain increased insight in improving virtual teaching and increase lessons and activities in SEL.
