The Importance of Finding the Right Early Childhood Education Programme
It’s widely accepted that what happens during the early years is of the utmost importance for every child’s development. At the same time, it’s a period of amazing opportunity, but also of susceptibility to negative influences. Unfortunately, so many children are unable to reach their full potential due to their family’s income status, geographical location, religion, or sexual orientation. If not provided the right nutrition, care, and education, children fail to reach their potential.

Why Are Students Afraid to Fail?
Earlier this week I was observing a classroom and the students had just completed a quiz. After seeing a table that had finished up, I sat down with them to see how they felt they did on the test. We as educators do not always get time to have a candid conversation with our students. So I jumped at the chance to find out what they thought. This was a classroom I do not normally spend a lot of time in and the students have had very little interaction with me thus far.

Schools can be one of the places that are not able to have enough funding to provide learning resources for students. This can take a toll on parents, teachers, students and even taxpayers. Underfunding can put a stress on the community and can create a lot of tension and fighting if funding issues are not resolved.

Podcasting Amplifies the Voices of a Unique Group of Students at Bed-Stuy Brooklyn School
Knowing the Neighborhood I’m an educator at Abraham Stockton School, PS 297, in Brooklyn teaching fifth grade kids aged 10 or 11 about wellness—everything from physical to emotional and social wellness. I grew up in the very same neighborhood that the school is in. We are a very diverse group with a lot of the neighborhood below the poverty line. When I went there in the 90s, it was the height of the crack era, which was a very tough time for our neighborhood, as well as the rest of America. To put it plainly, no one was coming to our neighborhood to help us amplify our voices or to be a representation of our community.
