In this article, my coauthors, who took my early education management and leadership course in 2023, share their experiences teaching to and learning from their peers as a part of their final presentation assignments.
Author Maria Beteta describes how an innocent question became an opportunity to explore powerful concepts such as identity, culture, self-perception, differences, and similarities that connect us all.

In this essay, I share how my perceptions of my students’ capabilities—and my own—were deeply influenced by my identity as a White, gay, cis male from a rural college town.
Here, I share my experiences with culturally responsive teaching and inclusive practices, how aspects of my identity have influenced my work with children and other educators to honor, include, and celebrate our identities.
