Message: No matter what kind of student you were, classrooms need you to return! The traits that once defined you can be powerful in motivating our next generation of dreamers. People change, and so has the idea of the classroom as COVID-19 transformed bedrooms into schools overnight. It’s time to redefine what and who makes a strong teacher. It’s time to reclaim the classroom.
