"Teaching is an instinctual art, mindful of potential, craving of realizations, a pausing, seamless process." - A. Bartlett GiamattiOverview: Thinking about becoming a teacher or interested in the process of becoming a teacher? You’ve come to the right place! In this post, I will try to answer any questions you may have about the process, discuss the tiered system of teacher certification, and address my recommendations for certification/licensure planning.

Note: The fight against racial injustice and police brutality is a marathon, not a race. That being said, I wanted to extend the conversation beyond just one post. I feel that it is my responsibility to use my platform for good and to advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement. Although I will not be addressing racial injustice every week, this blog will always be a platform for inclusion and understanding. “For it isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
Overview: Welcome back to my blog! In this post, I will be defining mirror neurons, discussing the influence of mirror neurons on culture and racism, and introducing empathy as a solution.
Note: Due to protests surrounding racial injustice, police brutality, and the death of George Floyd, I thought it would be best to post something related to the anti-racism movement. This movement needs all of our attention to make necessary changes in legislation and the police force. Through this post, I hope to give some explanation to why this ideology could still be present in the 21st century and to also continue to provide you with information I have learned in my courses.
