I thought these quotes were very important to think about when teaching. Its not always going to be easy but you have to find a good way to teach difficult students.
Hey Lena, great analysis. I had the same takeaways as you!
ReplyDeleteHey Lena, great job writing this as well as highlighting important quotes. I think as future educators it is important to show how the classroom is a safe space for freedom and expression. At home students might not have security but in the classroom I think it is so important to create that safe space! Well done.
ReplyDeleteI liked the quotes you made and how you connected them to students and how to make it a safe place.
