“One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.” - Carl Jung
The beauty of the world lies in the diversity of its people -Unknown
My students are culturally and linguistically diverse, and relationship building is of the utmost importance. Teachers must be willing to provide “warmth” to help ‘grow the soul of the child’. It is also important that not just English as a New Language teachers help honor the diversity of our students, but also classroom teachers and their peers. I think we can continue to do this through CRT and community building.
