Shaping Hearts and Minds
You’re not just a teacher. You’re also a friend and a mentor. You have the power to influence a child’s inner world.
In today’s fast-changing, tech-obsessed landscape, where Critical Race Theory seems more important than basic math skills, you can be a voice of reason. Let your classroom be a place to foster good values and a love of learning. Your students, their families, and your community need that. It’s time to change education — and teachers, you can help!
