5 Things I Learned In BTSF

This is a list of the 5 most important things I learned this summer in Breakthrough San Francisco

1. Be aware of your privelege

Knowing where you come from and where you kids come from is essential in creating the best possible learning environment.

2. Make relationships

Creating the time and space for relationships can not be stressed enough. It is one of the most fundamental aspects that teachers can work on to create a safe and learning space in the classroom.

3. Be YOURSELF

Stay true to who you are. Your kids will love you more for it <3

4. Relax and Distress

You NEED to find something to help you relax and take the stress away! Don't let it build up :)

5. Last but not least, HAVE FUN!

In all the stress, no sleep, and countless hours of lesson planning, don't forget to have fun. Enjoy the silly moments with your students, their hugs and smiles and their overall amazingness.
