*BONUS* - How Choosing a Focus Word Helps me Connect the Dots in the New Year
from The Culture-Centered Classroom · host Jocelynn
In this BONUS episode I am going to share how choosing a focus word for the last three years has helped me connect all the dots personally and professionally. Let's be honest, if we are not mentally and emotionally centered, how can we expect our students to be centered in our classrooms? I get super transparent about my cultural competence journey, the beauty and the struggle of this reflective practice, and resources to guide you step by step through this process with an intentional focus on your journal toward cultural competence.
