Tuesday was a professional development day at Forsythe Middle School, where I am placed as a student teacher. The professional development was centered around equity in the classroom and stressed the importance of clearly making sure to include minority students in the classroom without making it known to the students what we as educators are doing. Within this development day there was a movie presentation which introduced me to "The Three Docrtors." These men have been added to my list of heroes. They are brilliant amazing success stories from Newark. They also emphasize the theory that people from these areas should not strive to "get out" but should become educated and stay "within" their communitites to make better the society there. I encourage all educators to watch their documentary and read their books and I encourage all educators to share their story with their students.
