Twenty years ago I entered my first education class. Twists and turns over the past two decades have had me teaching kindergarten, 4th, 5th and 6th grades as well as in an RtI-type pull-out role with 5th-8th graders. I've taught in Mexico, Glenview and River Forest. Despite the different populations and locations, one thing remains true. If you value students and the contributions they have to offer, they will strive to meet and exceed any challenge you place before them.
