I found this message inspiring to read. It shows great leadership, and it is a great way to start the year. As professional teachers, we often times to want to blame ourselves. After reading this, I realize that we cannot point blame at anyone. I cannot put blame on my students and I cannot look down on myself. My goal is to step back and realize what I need to change to better direct learning or help their behaviors. It is tough because as a teacher, we do have so much responsiblity, and when things do not go as planned, or they simply do not go well, we are harder on ourselves than others are on us.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I love the bullet points at the end, which we all need to keep in mind often. We need to have fun, laugh and enjoy each moment, and realize that we truly can have a positive impact without even realizing it.
A New School Year...
