I Have a Dream... to Foster Self-Belief and Dreams Back into Students of the 21st Century.
I am a teacher, and if you went to any teacher training or professional development today, you would see that our job revolves mostly around academics, even if it is heard otherwise. My job consists primarily of teaching a lesson and giving instruction on activities revolving around the core subjects, like math, science, social studies and/or ELAR. I am expected to follow standards, units, and prepare students for state assessments. It is the criteria of my job, and I went through school, took tests and was prepared for just that. Yes, there is positive reinforcement, behavioral management, encouragement and social-emotional development for students, but those are what we would call the "supporting" standards, and the teach to the test, data driven instruction is the "readiness" standard.

Teachers Save the World.. Top Story - January 2022.
We moved around a lot growing up. We weren't a military family or anything like that, but we were a family of thirteen (that, down the timeline, became a family of 16) so we outgrew houses quickly. I hated it. I hated making friends just to leave them behind and I hated always being the new kid in school, but I knew my parents were doing the best that they could do.

An Open Letter To The Teacher That Always Believed In Me
Dear Ms. S. They say that in order to succeed in life, you only need one person to believe in you. I’m not sure if that’s true for everyone, but I’m certain it was true for me. You hear those stories everyday about people writing about that one teacher that changed their life. You think it sounds outrageous, I mean how can one teacher change the world, right? But you changed my life in so many ways and I don’t ever know if there are enough words in the dictionary to really express the gratitude for all that I feel for all that you've done for me.
