In the era of education reform, it can be a bit demoralizing some days to be a teacher, especially one who focuses on high-needs students. Here is a feel good story written by a former ELL student turned Harvard graduate about an educator at his elementary school. Appropriately, it it titled How one teacher changed the life of one child. Enjoy!
Lovely! I just heard Matt de la Pena speak recently, and had a similar message. Thanks for sharing!
