Teacher expertise and credentials
I have spent a majority of my teaching career teaching students about diversity and acceptance. I have also worked in many high needs schools and diverse communities. My family is multicultural and I think cultural studies is a necessity for children’s education. I have taught many classes about different points of view and different cultures. I believe children need to learn about several different perspectives in order to truly be an outstanding student and citizen. Reviews
