Caring Teachers AND Students

As we prepare for this long weekend and get ready emotionally and physically for the new school year, I want to share a post that has stayed with me for the last few days.  It's a reminder that preparing for teaching is not just about "space, curriculum and higher standards."  We should also think about how we might create classroom environments filled with caring teachers and students, citizens of the future.
