Hello, everyone!
My name is Laura Paciorek and I am the cohort contact for individuals in POTCert who also work at MiraCosta College. I am excited to be a part of it again this year. You can reach me through email at lpaciorek@miracosta.edu.
I earned my certificate with the first cohort of POTCert years ago and couldn’t stay away. Now I continue to learn through all of the people who enroll in POTCert and participate each year.
I hope that your semester is off to a great start. My online class began today! It’s a new prep for me, so I am trying some new things since I feel like I got to begin with a blank slate. I can’t wait to see how they go with the students.
Have a great first week, everyone. I can’t wait to get to know you more! Here’s a photo of me showing how proud I am to work at MiraCosta College. I post this for my students and use it as my avatar photo in my courses. I always hope that it creates a more personal feel for students to see me in a MiraCosta College tee shirt (it’s what I wear to work a lot at the Child Development Center, too!).
