I have had the opportunity to learn how important the practices of culturally responsive teaching are in the classroom through my journey of becoming an educator. CRT enables teachers to teach and students to learn the true history of America. Sometimes the truth is harsh, scary, and uncomfortable. However, by learning this truth we are able to move forward, while looking back and acknowledging, in order to help create a better world. Learning from the mistakes, the choices, the tradegys, and the triumphs of America enables our generation and future generations to do better.
