I really enjoyed the guest speaker, Cathleen Morgan and was quite impressed with her forsaking aspect of being on the board of education. She gave a new insight on the idea that we are no longer a minority and majority school district. Whites were truly the minority, of which 35% are Hispanics and 15% are black. The idea that teaching with these numbers is extremely hard to do and is a challenge. The challenge of experiencing a certain culture and gaining a new culture at the same time. As teachers, we must provide a classroom with high needs with successful results. I thought it was unique how she pointed out that a minority student may think they can not succeed because they retain the knowledge that the teacher doesn’t look like them
