199: Educators, I Celebrate You
Educators are the most amazing creatures. This episode is completely devoted to the unbelievable educators who do the most important job on Earth. There is an encouraging message for new teachers, teacher leaders, teachers in distress and teachers in transition. Every educator is celebrated! Quotables · Implementing small, simple changes every day can have extraordinary results. · Being an educator is tough and requires a different set of mental, emotional and physical muscles. · We show up because our mission is bigger than our problems. · A hard day is a short-term problem. A negative mindset is a long-term problem. · If you find yourself needing a lifeline, then those you work for and with need one too. · Pay attention to how they pay attention. · Please continue having the time of your life doing what you love. · Greatness awaits you if you don’t give up. · Every adjustment made me better, made me stronger, got me closer to the best version of me possible.
