Thank A Teacher!

People see the lessons, grading, bulletin boards, and maybe the summers.

What they don’t always see are the thousand little moments in between.

The teacher who somehow becomes part educator, counselor, referee, nurse, tech support, motivational speaker, and detective trying to find a way to reach that distant student or the child quietly struggling behind the smile, the silence, the behavior, or the “I’m fine.”

As a therapist and former principal, I can tell you this… teaching is not just a job. It is a daily act of hope.

Years later, students may forget the worksheet or the test, but they remember the teacher who noticed them, believed in them, gave them another chance, and made them feel safe, seen, capable, and important.

Sometimes the child who was hardest to reach becomes the adult who never forgets the teacher who refused to give up on them. ❤️

Teaching is an art, and the beauty of it is that no two artists create the same way.
One teacher’s strength is turning content into stories students never forget.
One’s strength is bringing peace to the kid who walks in carrying the world.
One’s strength is using humor to reach the student no one else can reach.
One’s strength is creating routines that give anxious kids a place to breathe.
One’s strength is sparking curiosity in students who thought they didn’t care.
One’s strength is seeing potential in every child long before they see it themselves.
Put them in the same classroom with the same standards and you will still see something completely different. That is the point. Kids do not need identical teachers. They need teachers who bring their own strength to the room.
This is why standardized evaluations miss the mark.
You cannot measure an art with a checklist.
You cannot score the very thing that makes a teacher great.
There is no magic formula for teaching.
There is only the magic each teacher carries into the room.
That is what kids remember.
That is what changes lives.
That is what cannot be replaced by scripts, programs, algorithms, or anything designed to make everyone look the same.
Teaching works because teachers bring their humanity.
And humanity has never been standard.

The importance of belonging…

Education has always seemed to be focused on fixing teachers. Teachers don’t need to be fixed but they do need to be supported, encouraged, & appreciated. Thank you to all the leaders who do!

For education to be "all about the students," we need to:
Increase Recess, The Arts, & socialization
Focus on holistic growth, not just standardized tests
Give students a voice in their learning
Focus on strengths to build success
Take care of teachers, a key to students’ success

Students will remember you because you genuinely care about them. If you don't love spending time w/ children, no amount of training, PD or inspirational quotes in the world will overcome it. Love what you teach, but love WHO you teach more!

[Tim Tebow @TimTebow]

I want to encourage you that no one can tell you your worth, because Jesus already did that. You have infinite value. You are worthy of God's best. I hope you rest in this peace that you truly are unique, special, and loved perfectly by our Father in heaven.

Reading aloud — it’s pretty amazing for kids (and grownups, too)! Whatever you’re doing this summer, make sure to spend some time reading aloud to the children in your life.

If you think standardized tests are a reflection of the real-world, just ask yourself how many problems in the real world have only one correct solution.

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

This is important for academics, social-emotional learning, & behavior! 🙌
