My students are resilient, imaginative, creative, curious, energetic, and can drive me absolutely insane.
Many of my students are first or second generation Americans whose families emigrated from every continent on the globe (Okay, maybe not Antarctica). They teach me something every day. One day I might learn a new phrase in Tagalog or Russian; the next I might hear a first hand account about life in a refugee camp. Our class celebrates and draws upon this diversity to enrich our learning community.
This diversity does bring challenges. I must carefully plan lessons to accommodate the range of ability levels and languages represented within our student body. Our school is in a blue-collar urban area and students experience all the difficulties that accompany such an environment. Some students' home lives are complicated or even traumatic, and our school and classroom should be safe, supportive, and welcoming.
