      Answer Example

      "I have used a range of tools and resources spanning my ten-year career as an early childhood educator and Preschool Director. My favorite resource for learning new developments in child learning is the Center on the Developing Child from Harvard University. I visit this website weekly and catch up on new thoughts and research regarding the core concepts of early development. For new teaching techniques, I lean on my network of other experienced teachers and directors. I also subscribe to the blog by Edutopia.com, where they discuss many new tech-integrated teaching tools. I am always open to exploring new resources, and if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them!"

      Great! If you read any books, blogs, listen to teaching-related podcasts, etc. I'd suggest listing those as well.
