Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! I invite you to take a moment to think about your favorite teacher of all time. Close your eyes, and remember: What made that teacher so special? Maybe they sparked a vibrant passion in you that led you to your current career. Maybe they saw potential and value in you that others, perhaps even you, had not seen. Maybe they gave abundantly of their time and their love. It is no secret that teaching is challenging. Our teachers are asked to do and be so very much. Over the past few years in particular, nearly every teacher I know has been asked why, with so many options, they choose to teach. Recently, we asked five of our teachers this very question: Why do you love being a charter public school teacher? Today, we’re excited to share a sneak peak of some of their powerful responses. |
