For Teachers Who Are New At This

Teaching does not simply imply teaching; this profession requires wearing the hats of so many necessary hats in this diverse society.

A teacher must often wear the hat of a construction worker to repair the years of damage done and left uncorrected. Like a painter, a teacher strips old paint before restoring a brand-new color. Teachers must arm themselves with the inherent belief that all students want to learn, better themselves and their family and community, and most of all, make the world a better place for all.

A teacher who motivates students and sells the idea of education changes that student no matter how small, and as the metamorphosis takes place, a teacher’s greatest reward is knowing that child emerges from a cocoon into a butterfly to then make a difference in somebody’s life.
