Multicultural Education- Jayme

You might have heard me talk about my idea for a year unit plan. Multicultural and service-learning are the platform which i choose what and how to present our literature to my students. This website is a great assest to have. There is TONS of information: journals, research, posters, multimedia that can be used with in the classroom, and so much more. I highly HIGHLY recommend both websites.

Nicole Sasser- This is an article that I read in my management class about how to reach students effectively. This man, Ron Clark, was featured on the Oprah show and has done a phenominal job with the students that he is working with. I encourage all of you to read this article and experience the inspiration that I felt.
