As most students and teachers are counting down the days until Summer starts, I am doing the opposite; going back to school.
Yesterday was my first day back at school after taking almost exactly 4 years off to do other things, like work. I am at Butler University with the intention of receiving my teaching license along with a Masters in Effective Teaching. I am planning on teaching history and geography on the high school level. Butler has a small program for individuals in similar situations as me that have been working in areas outside of schools but want to become teachers.
In class we watched this Ted Talk that I thought was pretty awesome and just wanted to share it as I will likely continue to share articles and videos and what nots as I progress through this program.
It is called "The Danger of a Single Story" by Chimamanda Adichie
