I'm a 5th grade educator with a special education background. I've been in education for 22 years, yet see myself as a life long learner. Every child learns.
@BrianMendler This is an issue for me. I stated to my admin that my goal is to keep students in my room learning. I don’t care it they wear a hat or a hood as long as I can see their shiny face. For one of my students it is a comfort to wear his hat.
If you ever get a chance to help someone, do it. You may not be changing the world, but you’ll be changing that person’s world, and that’s just as good.
