Hey Designers,
How are you renewing the culture of your classroom? Today we get to talk to Donnetta Norris, a second grade teacher in Texas who shares how she is navigating this year with her second graders. After hearing Donnetta share her story and the strategies she uses, you will get some ideas for how to create a safe and successful culture with your students.
Donnetta and I talked about the importance of identity and safe spaces when creating and renewing the culture of your class. Also, Donnetta shared how she works to have an inclusive classroom where students see themselves in the curriculum they are studying.
I so enjoyed this conversation with Donnetta, and I know that you will too.
