Classroom Chats

“Teachers live forever in the hearts of the students that we reach.” Crystal Higgs, Assistant Principal, Educator, Author, Podcast Host IG: @ClassroomChats Connecting with Students “We build connections through shared experiences.” It’s amazing how our experiences influence us. On today’s episode, Ms. Crystal Higgs speaks on the importance of understanding your teacher identity as we experience the shift in education. She shares observations made after working in both Title I and non Title I schools, bullying and how her own experience shapes her approach to creating safe spaces, and overhearing her white colleagues in a college class talking about the lack of “qualified educators” in Black schools. Crystal reflects on the full circle moments that led her to teaching in her high school, and why she finally stopped running from her calling. Tune in. Let’s have a Classroom Chat!
