What I Am Reading Now?
"My job as a teacher is not to teach the curriculum or even to just teach the students; it is to seek to understand my kids as completely as possible so that I can purposefully bend the curriculum to meet them."

For my program we had a book club and the book I chose to read is "We Got This" by Cornelius Minor. When choosing the book I was intrigued by the idea of "being who are students need us to be". While reading I have learned that purposefully listeing to our students is only the first step to this ideal. The real "meat and potatoes of this idea is that we need to act on what are students give us, and we need to apply it in a meaningful way.
