Am I A Good Teacher?

Well, I have been an ESE teacher for a little over a week and I gotta say, it's exactly how I visualized it and I'm so happy in that classroom that I feel like my heart is going to burst.

After a few minutes, the conversation turned to how she went to a … Continue reading Racism And My White Privilege
