As educators, we have been blessed with an awesome responsibility to educate the whole child to become productive citizens and leaders of tomorrow.
As an administrator, one of the blessings of my job is to help my faculty and staff be the best they can be in the lives of those placed in their care.
Simple reminders:
*to greet students at the door and actually “see” them each day
*to remember that as an educator, we are the rational adult called to model behaviors for our students…forgiveness, flexibility, humor, compassion etc.
*it is okay for students to know that mistakes have been made or something is not “known” …demonstrate how to build the muscle of “recovery” and “collaboration”
Never underestimate the power we have in lifting up our students to new heights…if you BELIEVE they will ACHIEVE!
May we continue to seek knowledge in all things~
