I work really hard to learn how to pronounce my students’ names. I know they see me struggle and not give up, even when they give me the anglicized version to use. I also always call my students by their preferred name, regardless of gender or ethnicity. Some request the anglicized version when I use the Spanish pronunciation.

Knowing and calling students by their name, even if it’s a challenge for you, shows respect for the student and by extension their culture. This is an important ACTION toward providing a culturally, linguistically relevant educational experience to your students.

Hello,
I teach 4th grade at a Christian school. I have been teaching for over 30 years but I have been at this school for 2 years. Since I have been working at this school it seems like everything I do in my classroom it's something wrong with it according to my supervisor. Recently, I was told that I am not getting a new contract for the new school year. I have to find a new school. I was told that I am not a good fit for the school.

We can’t have classroom management without taking care of ourselves first. Rest. Even if it’s for 2 minutes. We close our eyes and reset.

I’m struggling with an issue with a student right now. I teach in a suburban school outside of NYC that has a very large majority of white students. One of my Black students was recently involved in a biased incident with another student in which he received racist social media messages and racist spoken words from the other student. This was a kid that my Black student thought was his friend. He’s heartbroken, and so am I. I want to know how I can best support my student.
