Two of my wonderful colleagues pointed me in the direction of this touching YouTube clip today that is definitely worth watching and listening to. It reminds us all of why we teach and how important educators are in the lives of the young children.
You will appreciate hearing Taylor Mali's inspirational poem cleaned up a bit (aka censored) for a teachers' inservice audience.

As a public educator, I aim to share my story with those interested about what really happens inside today's classroom. I hope my stories inspire, educate, and entertain you, as the calling of teaching is never neat or predictable. Please note that my blog content does not necessarily reflect the viewpoints or beliefs of my school district or colleagues.
Super Teacher's Job is Never Done!
Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions. ~ Author Unknown
My goal is to reveal one teacher's humble journey of self-reflection, critical analysis, and endless questioning about my craft of teaching and learning alongside my middle school students.
"The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called 'truth'." ~ Dan Rather
