My goal is to connect the young teachers to the old, to reignite their sense of struggle.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Teachers today are breaking down obstacles, finding innovative ways to instill old lessons, proving that greatness can be found in everyday places.
Teachers who help to open young minds perform a duty which is as near sacred as I will admit.
Great teachers emanate out of knowledge, passion and compassion.
A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.
We are working essentially to build a leadership force of folks who will, during their first two years of teaching, actually put their kids on a different trajectory - not just survive as a new teacher, but actually help close the achievement gap for their kids.
We have a powerful potential in out youth, and we must have the courage to change old ideas and practices so that we may direct their power toward good ends.
To me, the avocation of a teacher has something elevating and exciting. While surrounded by the young, one may always be doing good.
We need students to understand how the world has changed and be prepared to make contributions in a new way.
True teachers use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.
At my age, you are naturally inclined towards teaching.
