Educating Esme Raji Codell Analysis

Educating Esme After reading Educating Esme by Esme Raji Codell, Codell makes it clear she is intrinsically motivated to help foster learning in children in a very unique way. Although she is a very bold teacher, with an unusual personality, she is not simply trying to draw attention to herself. She may believe that doing things in an untraditional manner helps her to teach her students successfully, which might be a factor as to why she chooses to be called "Madame Esme." When a student asks her why she goes by "Madame" instead of "Mrs," like everybody else, she responds that she is not everybody else. She clearly prides herself on being an individual.
Esme is able to create a lively yet controlled learning environment in her classroom
