I’m an educator with decades of experience in ESL/EFL, K-12 and curriculum with a recent focus on Social-Emotional Learning. Thanks to this, I understand that learning is a process— noticing what’s missing, figuring out the how, and slowly, incrementally making the change. This also goes for interaction and connecting with others, which is built upon spaces where all feel comfortable, inspired to speak and invested in what others say. I appreciate how this course adds to my understanding of how to make societal change by starting with how I show up for others.
