What Makes Teachers Great – A Teacher Appreciation Week Post
This is a blog post written by the principal of Southport Middle School this week. I found it to be an easy read and very honest and true for our staff of GREAT TEACHERS! Click on the link to read!
- Great teachers care about kids first and foremost.
- Great teachers are risk takers.
- Great teachers are team players.
- Great teachers are challengers, but not resistors.
- Great teachers have a purpose.
Thank you to all the great teachers out there! You make a difference everyday!
Do you recognize these traits in some of your colleagues? Tell them! Celebrate each other and what makes us great!
Kudos!
To Angie Towle & Joellen Desautels for their help in giving the kids time to complete the Teacher Thank You pages for your books!
To Dawn Matters for helping me put them together!
To Paige Miller for taking the time to do spring parent-teacher conferences! This is a time-consuming commitment, but so valuable!
