Teachers are passionate people who enjoy making a difference.
Teachers do not become teachers
because they are not smart enough to do anything else. Instead, they
become teachers because they want to make a difference in shaping young
people’s lives.
Teachers do not just work from 8-3 with summers
off. Most arrive early, stay late, and take papers home to grade.
Summers are spent preparing for the next year and at professional development opportunities.
Teachers
get frustrated with students who have tremendous potential, but do not
want to put in the hard work necessary to maximize that potential.
Teachers love students who come to class every day with a good attitude and genuinely want to learn.
Teachers
are creative and original. No two teachers do things exactly alike.
Even when they use another teacher’s ideas they often put their own spin
on them.
Teachers are continuously evolving. They are always searching for better ways to reach their students.
Teachers
do have favorites. They may not come out and say it, but there are
those students, for whatever reason with whom you have a natural
connection.
