Teacher on a mission.

As surreal as it is to me, I am a sixth grade English Language Arts teacher. This is my intimate journey as a pioneer in the movement to eradicate educational inequity. Not only is teaching a most difficult profession, my students and I are are challenged to succeed in the face of our nation's biggest letdown: many of our children born into poverty will never get a fair shot at at quality education and the American Dream. Take this journey with me and learn about the challenges we face as teachers with students in poverty.

Why start a blog anyway?

The idea of starting this blog came to me through one of the educational consultants at our school. It was her suggestion that I should undertake this self-reflective process as a new teacher. I always rejected the notion of starting my own blog for many reasons. Mostly because I wondered why anyone would want to post their rants and ravings online and why anyone would want to read it. However, if this blog can help me develop personally and professionally, I am all for it.
