Last semester, during finals week, one of my professors showed my ElEd cohort this video. Although I was totally exhausted and burned out from all the finals week craziness, this short clip made me pause for a minute and remember why I am doing this. I don't know if I'll ever be as amazing a teacher as Rita Pierson; however, I do know that I will have a small circle of influence in my own classroom, with my own students. Each child that comes to me will be a unique individual with unique strengths, challenges, and needs. My hope is that through my differentiation course, I will better learn how to meet those needs, and in that way, I can be a champion for my students.
This clip is about 7 minutes long, but well worth the time! I hope it inspires you as it did me.
