For this episode, I interviewed Natalie Moerer, a 1st grade teacher at Hansen Elementary in southern Idaho. Natalie has lived and taught abroad and so has a unique perspective on the importance of supporting multilingual Learners. She also is firm believer in strong classroom management skills and building a class culture where students try to better themselves and cheer each other on, rather than compete against each other! And it was clear, throughout the whole conversation that Natalie works at building relationships with students, that she enjoys it, and that she is skilled at finding where they are and helping them move to where they need to be.
