“We worked throughout the year to build confidence and classroom relationships so that the class knew we were a team,” Foster said, “As a teacher, I was so proud of my students. I was proud they were engaged, proud they felt confident, proud they worked out their problems, and most importantly, proud that they checked their work.”
