You are dedicated, Teach!

There’s a well known principal that I follow on YouTube. In the video link I pasted below, he points out how difficult teaching can be…but part of the ending message says “ We are still dedicated.” Think about that... Teaching is tough—there are no two ways about it. Yet here we are striving anyway (doing our best anyway). Keep being a great educator. Hang in there no matter what. Yes—“WE ARE STILL DEDICATED!” Enjoy the vid and keep up the love and dedication.

As always, hang in there, Teach.
Happy Teaching,
Frank

Kudos to you, Teach

At the beginning of Harry Wong's well known book entitled The First Days of School, he has the following memo: "Dedicated to my father and mother, who wanted me to be a brain surgeon.  I exceeded their expectations.  I became a scholar and a teacher."  Kudos to each of you for exceeding average expectations by becoming an educator!  That's right, you are more capable than a brain surgeon in so many ways.  NEVER FORGET HOW AMAZING YOU ARE!  Keep it up!!! 

As always, hang in there, Teach!
Happy Teaching,
Frank 

P.S. The First Days of School, is a classic book for educators that breaks down each essential component of classroom management.  I'm convinced every teacher should read it and own a copy of it.  If you are wanting to purchase it, please do so at the link below since I get a commission (though small) off of each purchase from this link. This edition also includes a DVD, which is a real plus. Thanks!
