I was supported every step of the way. It could not have been better. Someone was always there for me. Being here has put me in touch with the realities of urban education and the realities of being an educator. Most importantly, though, this program has taught me how to see my whole world from a much more realistic perspective.
Instructors are magicians to their students.
They open the door to a world of learning and discovery. If a teacher is excited by her work, this magic rubs off on her students. However, listening to children is just as important as teaching them. This mutual interest fosters shared learning and joint discovery. I taught my first graders about the planets of our solar system, but they taught me about the countries of our world.
