"I recently came across this great new podcast called Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers. Every Sunday, a new 10-minute episode is posted focused on getting to the hears of educators. I highly recommend this podcast experience."

Show the interviewer that you're interesting, and always interested. Make some connections to your teaching and tell them how you've applied or plan to apply what you've learned to reach your students, academically or otherwise.

"I recently watched a Netflix show called '13 Reasons Why' which delves deeply and unabashedly into issues many teenagers deal with but are unwilling to discuss, such as suicide, cyberbullying and rape. One of the most interesting things I learned is that a teenager's hippocampus isn't fully developed, which is why they can interpret a negative remark or dirty look as lasting and eternal. It helps me to have more patience and empathy with my more problematic students as I realize there are plenty of issues beyond the surface that I might not be aware of."

I am currently learning about the history of modern Latin America in a book I am reading. I like to stay updated about the histories of different parts of the world. I also want to partake in professional development regarding new teaching skills such as formative and summative assessments.
