Episode: Teaching and the Importance of Being in Relationship with Guest Anitrice Black
Description: In this podcast Anitrice Black, an early childhood educator for over 20 years in urban settings in Western Pennsylvania, shares her values about working with parents to best meet the needs of her young students. “Parents entrust their children to me. I want them to know they can reach out with questions—to know I take their concerns seriously.” As a keen observer of children’s behavior, Black has great insight into the social and emotional needs of her students. Responding to those needs is paramount for creating a classroom environment conducive to learning.
