Pursuing Peace
Join us as we commune with the Master Teacher when something goes wrong in our interactions with others.
Contextualizing the Journey
During week 4, we’re looking at the contexts within which you teach. You and your mentor will consider how culture, society, education systems, and individual differences influence your classroom context. How do they also shape your steps toward professional development?
