I think that the examples that Nieo provides in the article from different teacher's essays were very inspiring. I realized the importance of "teaching outside the lines" in order for students to learn and think from different perspectives. I also realied the importance of social justice, and I was pleased with the example of the class that became actively involved in campaigning for the re-opening of their local public library. I am excited to teach students of diverse backgrounds and I hope to give coursework that really expands my student's minds and experiences. A goal for this course should be to become well educated on the different cultures, races, and ethnic groups and for each individeual to create their own set of attitudes and values for teaching.
