Summary
Every child deserves an education. Creating a nurturing and positive educational experience for a child, especially in their early years, begins with the teacher. It is my job as a teacher to make sure I use all the resources and skills necessary to make sure my students feel supported in their educational, emotional, and social journey in my classroom. I want to make sure to use the proper research, theories, and tactics that fit best for each group of students I will teach.
