In my classroom there are 16 teachers! My students teach me, and each other, just as much as I teach them.
I am a 2nd grade teacher working at a small public elementary school in Oakland, CA. We are located in a very impoverished community with high crime rates. Despite the obvious challenges, I love my job! My school does NOT use a scripted curriculum, and we focus on integrating arts education into the curriculum. We are attempting to provide students with the kind of top-notch education, promoting critical thinking, that private schools and schools in more affluent areas offer.
