2021 AFT TEACH Conference

I am looking for ways to re-build classroom community and to make compelling opting in to being part of a supportive and giving classroom learning community with 9th-10th graders who have found opting out to be a viable path during covid distancing and isolation. I am looking for ways to knock apart the white patriarchal acquisition system for privilege. And I am looking for ways to re-connect with educators and others who see the exchange of ideas and not the convicting of others as the purpose of social interactions.

I am a fifth grade teacher with Mojave Unified School District at Hacienda Elementary. I feel as though the five key areas are all going to be of great importance as we begin next school year. I am hoping to learn many things, one of them being strategies to mitigate some of the learning loss due to the pandemic.

Most interested in recovering from the pandemic, both emotionally and academically. Civics would be of interest too.

I am looking forward to this this 2021 Teach.<br><br>I anticipate it will be chock full of outstanding resources and camaraderie!

I look forward to dining new activities and lessons to help engage my students.
