When the day is difficult ,
when your morale is low ,
recall why you became a teacher .
Recall the times you knew this had been the right choice .
Believe in the
limitless potential of human beings .
When you expect the best from your students ,
you'll get it .
Cherish each
student's uniqueness
as part of the rich diversity of God's creation .
Affirm all children's uniqueness ,
their varied talents ,
their different cultural backgrounds .
Inspire your
students .
Let them know that they can make a difference ,
that the world can be better
because of their existence .
Know that your
students are smart in different ways .
Use different learning techniques to reach
all the types of intelligence they have :
verbal , logical ,visual , bodily ,
musical , interpersonal , self .
Recognize that
you are the adult
and your students are still children .
But recognize also that you have an inner child
that needs your attention and care .
Don't let your needy inner child interact with your students .
Remember how
difficult it can be to be a child--
how fragile and vulnerable children are in a world
where they don't know all the rules ,
where they're unsure of themselves
but don't want to show it .
In this world ,
you can be a caring guide .
Be aware that
you teach so much more than a subject .
You are opening minds and hearts ;
you are shaping lives .
Realize that
when you're secure ,
you can deal with a child's insecurity ;
when you're at ease ,
you can reassure a child's fear .
Taking care of yourself helps your students .
Take care of
yourself mentally ,
Keep learning ;
follow your own interests .
This will enhance and energize your life
and give new dimensions to share with your students .
Remember those
teachers
who inflenced your life for the good .
What did they do ?
How did they give you what you needed ?
Follow their example !
To spend your
life doing what matters
is the greatest of all achievements .
Teaching matters .
Radiate
enthusiasm for your students ,
for learning , for life --
and for engaging students in learning and in life .
Your students --and you --
will be so much richer .
Be passionate
about the subject matter that you teach .
Excitement is contagious .

Thanks , Lord ! For everything !
A man's wisdom gives him patience ;
it is to his glory to overlook an offense .
( Proverbs 19 :11 )
