The Getting Real With Hilary Show with Hilary Arnow Burns

Title: S5EP15, Don't Give Up on Teaching. Teaching is the Foundation of the World with Chyna Bratcher

Summary:
Chyna Bratcher quit teaching 5th grade when her mental and physical health were suffering.  She was not supported by her administration, the parents, or the environment that she was teaching in.

But, her commitment to teaching had her not give up on the children.  She started teaching kindergarten and has made a HUGE impact there.   Despite challenges in her family, her health and with several challenging students, again, Chyna rose to the occasion quoting Maya Angelou's "Still I rise."  

Chyna's story will inspire all teachers and parents.  She uses SEL (Social Emotional Learning) to create a community in her classroom where all kids are safe, regulated and growing.  Kikoriapp.com makes it easy for Chyna to channel her inner teacher.  She connects to her heart and the children know how much she cares.  Chyna is giving back what was given to her by her teachers growing up.

No child is labeled as "bad."  Chyna figures out a way to reach them and teaches them to respect their classmates and their community.

Her instagram is: MissBeeClass.
