One day, third-grade teacher Kyle Schwartz asked her students to fill the blank in this sentence: “I wish my teacher knew _____.” The results astounded her.

The results opened her eyes to the need for educators to understand the unique realities their students face in order to create an open, safe and supportive place in the classroom.
