Teacher talk, my job at Chavez
This is my school. If you have time peruse our website and learn of our history, our mission, our staff and our events. I thoroughly enjoy my work as a teacher, yet I can't let this statement pass without adding how incredibly hard it is to begin a teaching career. I have had a unique teaching career thus far, for I was able to research and learn of pedagogy, curriculum development, best practices, comparative and international education and reform before stepping into an American classroom. Also, I worked in the nonformal, nonprofit educational sector for years, plus taught overseas in Thailand. These experiences and learning has allowed me to begin a formal teaching career with one step forward, at least in my opinion. I constantly seek progressive, radical teaching methods and topics. One of my commonly-used resources is Teaching Tolerance. This resource consistently provides lively and needed articles, lessons, ideas, and creates a positive forum for progressive, radical educators to share their passion for educating tomorrow's youth. Please share your passion for educating, if you partake, and I will certainly keep you posted on the work I am doing!

The gentleman I know that does workshops related to multicultural environments and race relations is Emilio Williams, President of the Koi Group, www.koigroup.com if your interested. He might be able to help mesh identities within Chavez.
Great, thanks! How do you know him and can I tell him that you referred me to him? Let's talk more about what he does, for we could use some "meshing".
