All too often, students will go through the public school system feeling as though they are hopeless, not good enough or not worth believing in. Many neurodivergent students feel left out of the classroom environment because they struggle with social cues and interactions with their peers. As an elementary school teacher, you see the same group of students 5 days a week for about 9 months, if any teacher says that they will not leave a lasting impact on their students, they need to reevaluate the impact that they carry as a teacher. I believe that no student should be left behind during their education. As teachers, we are around our students constantly and are given many opportunities to teach them lessons that are not directly stated in the curriculum. I want to make sure that all of my students feel welcome in the classroom and that all of my students know how to create a caring and welcoming environment.
