Do you believe the quote above? The idea that we can be the one thing that causes a student to experience success must inspire us but also cause us to see our job as one that is truly IMPORTANT! I don't want to stress you out but I want to ensure you understand one of the roles of your job that's not clearly written on your contract. According to the US Department of Education, research has shown that the most important school-based factor impacting a child's academic success is the quality of the classroom teacher, followed closely by the strength of the school leader. We have to be on our game beginning August 26 and continue until June 10th. We have to because anyone of us could be that one adult that helps that student become a success.
I am unsure if you have ever heard of Rita Pierson but she was an amazing educator. Everything I have seen and read about her points to her belief that she was the reason why he students were successful. She took it personal when students didn't learn and made it a priority to create success for all. I hope you enjoy this and if you've already seen it before...they say you must hear something at least three times before it "sinks in"!
