Teacher Journals: Michelle

I grew up in a small farming community in central Texas. This past May, I graduated from college with a bachelor's degree in English.

I am currently a student in the Teaching and Curriculum program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I intend to obtain both a master's degree in education and secondary school certification in English. Attending HGSE has given me the opportunity to explore opportunities outside my home state for the first time. Coming from a rural background, my student teaching experience at a high school in Boston is my first encounter with urban schools.

In addition to teaching, I am also interested in understanding race politics in the American public education system, community empowerment, and school leadership.
