Hello!
My name is Tori Johnston. I received my Bachelor's in History and Social Studies in 2018. I am currently getting my Master's in secondary education social studies and my initial license. I am 24 years old and just had my birthday 2 weeks ago. I spend most of my time with my best friends and my friend's one year old son.

I learn best by reading and discussing what I have read.

The picture is me and my dad at my graduation in 2018.

Welcome All!
My name is Laurie Pearson.  I am a 2nd grade teacher at Fieldstone Elementary in St. Michael, MN.  I have been teaching for 14 years.  This is my 5th year in 2nd grade.  Prior to this I was a Reading Specialist here in St. Michael and a Title 1 teacher in Montrose, MN.  I have two amazing children Katelynn 16,  and Brandon 11.  I survived behind the wheel training and hours with my daughter this last year.  My son loves fishing and the outdoors.  I have been married to their stepdad Marshall for 6 years.  We have an adorable pug named Winston and a cat names Ruby.  They do not  play well together.

I learn best by collaborating and discussing things with others. I also like to see an example and then try it myself.

Hello.  I am Dr. Jessica Williams, your course instructor.  And in the picture with me is my 2.5 year old daughter, the love of my life.  We have two yorkies, a rabbit, a frog, and five chinchillas.  I am very excited to be working with all of you this semester to learn more about how to educate with a growth mindset.  It is a passion of mine.  I cannot wait to learn more about all of you!  I learn best by touching and then applying my learning.  I love teaching all of you the awesome information I have learned in my several years of research and implementation of educating with a growth mindset.  I hope you enjoy this course as much as I enjoyed creating it:)
