| description | My journey with integrating a new multicultural perspective in my classroom has yet to begin. I have reveled in being part of our Teacher Talk learning community and have been eager to contribute to our monthly discussions, responding to our readings and supporting my colleagues’ experiences with literature. The student population I work with is very homogeneous, culturally and economically. I know they require a wider lens to be prepared to enter the world outside of their K-12 schooling. As we have begun curriculum adjustments to accommodate the common core requirement to read more non-fiction at the high school level, I am appreciative of the Worlds of Words website resources. This Teacher Talk group allows for professionals from all levels to gain perspective and turnkey that to our students. I am grateful for this opportunity to learn from my colleagues in Teacher Talk and appreciate all of the support and meaningful reflection. |
