Reflections from the Week
You take time to prepare engaging lessons because you're committed to 'growing' your students!
You've been there to provide compassion to your colleagues,the new teachers, the already tired teachers, and the teachers that only you know they personal journey they're own teachers.
You were kind to students and parents at MTT... all of them... even the ones that you know a backstory about. You literally greeted them, hugged them, and danced in the hallway with them ... because you realize the power that lies in being open-minded.
You supervise students at your duty and in the hallways before and after school. Your presence helps to not only deter mischief and ensures a more safe and orderly environment for our kids but ultimately teaches students the value of having integrity!
You learn new ideas from your colleagues... and sometimes from the internet... because you are committed to being a better teacher tomorrow than you were today.
You work to create a positive classroom environment by fostering relationships with your students and families from Day 1!
You try to connect with students who don't seem reachable by showing them compassion... because you realize you may be their only lifeline.
You are open-minded about the students who may be disruptive and annoying... because you know that those students still need you.
You strive to be the kind of teacher that you would want your own kids to have.
I know you're already tired. I'm sorry that we just put two more kids in your class and asked you to fill out another form. In spite of the challenges, you maintain your passion for kids; you hold on to your commitment to making a difference. I NEED you to know that we never take that for granted.
You're tired ... but you push on.
And that makes each of you our HERO!
Welcome 2019-2020 school year, our Titan Family is ready... ready for the tasks that lay ahead of us each year all while knowing what we do reaches far beyond the grades in PowerSchool and the walls of Tega Cay... Let's make this year the best yet!!!
