This movie did not not relate to Educational Psychology in anyway. Everything the teacher did was inspiring to pre-service teachers. In the movie the main character pushes every envelop with the school to provide a better education for her students. While doing this she is faced with personal challenges of trying to figure out how to connect to the students given her completely different background. Attending college in Decorah and growing up in a small town, if I am to teach in an intercity school I believe I would have these same challenges. This movie especially connects to ed psych by showing an example for a teacher to go above and beyond to get the material to relate to the students. That's what I believe, as teachers, we are called to do.
