Stephanie is an Art teacher in her 8th year teaching. She connects with students using her personal background, which is similar to those of her students. Stephanie discusses the need for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) integration into the curriculum; getting parents involved through practical invitations; and support for continued education for singleton teachers like herself. Solutions to these problems can be found in restructuring the current system to align with a clear purpose for education; meeting parents where they are; and integrating time with professionals to support teachers like Stephanie.
