I recently read a blog post entitled "Marriage isn't for You." It is a great post and I believe many of the ideas can be translated to teaching.
In the end, teaching is not about me. It's about my kids. I may help the and lead them, but in the end it's about what they are doing. Yes, this is a reflection (in a small way) on me, but it is always about the kids. I want to do great things in my classroom so my students can experience great things.
One of my biggest struggles as a specialist teacher is getting used to having a new class every forty minutes. Some days it is hard to not "punish" one class for the behavior of the previous. This is not something I am proud of.
Imagine the power if we taught so our kids could experience greatness? In times of frustration it is vital to remember that it is not about me. It's about my kids and my attitude and behaviors will have an impact on them. My goal is that I have a positive impact on all of my students (even if I never see the results). I am on a mission to treat my students with love and kindness. Students who get to me, I want to treat them with even more kindness.
Always remember You Matter! Thank you for reading.
