Extraordinary Teachers: Inspiring Our Work at Stand for Children
How can you help? I know most schools allow people to come in to volunteer and work with kids. There are also before and after programs that college students or adults may work at. These are good ways to connect with children and get to know what holds them back from learning. I have worked with children who have had learning disabilities and was hard for them to focus. Those are the students who need attention the most. There are mentorship programs like Big Brothers & Big Sisters that allows you to choose a child to mentor and stick with for a couple of years. This is what it is going to take to get a child inspired to the next level and to help them believe that they can achieve anything they put their mind to.
I totally agree with you. There is something that needs to be done. I loved your videos, really drove you points home.
