Today me and my mom attended the Extra Yard Teacher Summit 2015. It was so very awesome! So many teachers and former students of wonderful teachers spoke and reignited my joy for teaching. They also so eloquently reminded me that we are there for the students. Which I am very aware of but in these days of mountains of paperwork, data analysis, HIGH stakes testing and limited budgets many times its easy to loose sight of that. So I'm thankful for these teachers and their words. Teachers don't loose your JOY and don't forget the reason you wake up every day, those sweet babies looking at you for guidance and support.
