I've left the Bronx, yet I still remember its biggest parenting lesson: even a rough neighborhood can be an amazing classroom.
"The technology in each classroom is amazing," Ms. Battisto said.
After all, Brown's four Rhodes scholars last year must have done some pretty amazing things outside the classroom.
"One of things she said was: 'It's weird that there are so many people at Harvard who do amazing things outside the classroom.
That classroom of amazing, brilliant, imaginative, loving, self-sufficient (well, sort of), hilarious, unpredictable, completely capable little people?
This focus on the educational environment comes from her belief that a good teacher can find a way to succeed in a bad classroom but that same teacher can do really amazing things in a great classroom.
And, while good teachers do amazing things in their own classrooms, great teachers extend their influence by partnering with the people most important to their students lives, whether they are siblings, parents, grandparents, coaches, or other teachers.
Two participants engaged students in the lesson dramatically by using creative and amazing techniques applied in the classroom.
In the classroom, I see such amazing potential in my female STEM students.
Wishing you good luck, amazing experiences inside and outside of the classroom, and many memorable moments.
