Developing Digital Literacies at Drew University 2/03/18

Developing Digital Literacies on 2/03/18 @ Drew University 

Excellent upcoming PD opportunity for teachers on Saturday, February 03, 2018 at Drew University.

Discount to teachers working in under-served populations. Bring 4 of your school colleagues and get 50% discount. That means that each teacher would pay $50 to attend conference. From personal experience, it's worth investing to attend this conference. Please contact Dr. Turner if you are interested kturner3@drew.edu

WNYC Report: How MS-13 Is Affecting Immigrant Communities

I was listening to this report, How MS-13 Is Affecting Immigrant Communities, and I thought that as teachers we should be informed about what happens in the lives of our students to better understand and support them. 

"In a 3-part series in partnership with NPR, Sarah Gonzalez, WNYC's youth and families reporter, reports on MS-13 on Long Island — how the gang targets people for violence, why the Trump administration blames the wave of unaccompanied minors who have settled in the area, even though police say they’re more likely to be victims than perpetrators of MS-13 gang violence"

Teaching Beauties

July 2017 Accomplishments 

Teaching in high-needs public schools can be challenging. However, when we work hard and collaborate with teacher and administrator colleagues around the city, beauties and nice surprises come our way. Let's keep moving forward and challenge the obstacles to get our job done the right way.
