NYU METROPOLITAN CENTER FOR RESEARCH ON
EQUITY AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF SCHOOLS
The training helped me develop
solid relationships with my
students. When you’re able
to understand where a child comes from and
the things that impact their lives everyday
you’re able to develop a deeper understanding
of who that child is as a person.”
While I am firm with students,
I’m learning to really take quality
time to listen to their needs to
figure out how I can best support them.”
