The New York City School System is doing something no other major school system in the nation is trying to do-bring students back to school! This has lead to a major crisis- a teacher shortage like never before. Because of this, I've agreed to teach our 8th graders history this year, even though I don't have a history degree.
I made the decision to agree to teach history for many reasons- we are living in historically significant and unprecedented times, and now, more than ever, learning and reflecting on our nation's history feels so important.
That being said, I do need to teach this class remotely to about 30 8th graders at a time. One of the biggest struggles as a teacher is how hard it is to make connections, and read your students' emotions and understanding, over a 13" monitor! This second monitor will mean I will no longer have to choose between seeing the content I am teaching or seeing my students' faces on the screen!
