In this world of teaching where so much of what you do goes unseen by the world around you any appreciation and complements mean the world. It's why I love reading the cards my students and their parents write at the end of the year - I get a glimpse into how they really feel about me even if it was primarily unspoken. So imagine my surprise to be asked to be a "focus teacher" for Impatient Optimists - Bill and Melinda Gates' blog!
I was recommended by someone still unknown by me for my work in the classroom with my diverse students. I don't have much more to say but that I am humbled beyond words and hopeful that reading this article makes others feel more comfortable approaching the CCSS with their diverse kiddos. Happy Reading!
