Mr. Lucas, your article about teachers shaping lives was right on target. In my graduate class, we are reading a book by Sonia Nieto and she also stresses how important knowledge of subject matter is imperative. She discussed the importance of knowing your students culturally and that is not just limited to celebrating the holidays they celebrate.
Your quote at the end of this article was very empowering. It's refreshing to see that people understand the power of a teacher's voice. Thanks for enlightening me.
