"The Teacher Becomes The Student" w/ Mrs. Acquisto
In this special episode, we centralize the principles of diversity, empathy, and integrity in our learning and teaching. Our backgrounds and stories deserve to be shared and celebrated in any setting. Before we can teach/learn from others we must empathize with others; we must be true to our identities. Regardless, of our titles and age, we can continue to teach our teachers and learn from our students- at the end of the day, we all have artistry and humility to implement in our community. By the same token, Mrs. Acquisto (a second-grade teacher), illustrates her trajectory from a student to a teacher and outlines the art of being intentional as both a learner and instructor.
Themes in this episode:
-Importance Of Diverse Thinkers
-How to Think Like A Teacher
-Success Habits to Adopt
-Instilling Empathy And Humility
-Failure is a part of Success
-Be Your Own Cheerleader! Advocate for yourself:)
-The Student Becoming the Teacher
