An Open Letter to Educators

Dear Educators,

Our summer is slowly coming to an end. Some of us worked all summer preparing for our students. From lesson plans to opening day activities, we have been looking on Pinterest, Teachers Pay Teachers, and Twitter to gather ideas. In your preparation, take the time to reflect on your WHY! Why am I in education?

Your answer to this question should be your daily driven purpose. It should be the foundation of your passion (Discover your passion.) and your pursuit for excellence. The 3 P’s! Write down your Why and post it everywhere as a daily reminder.

Knowing your WHY and having a vision of your purpose, passion, and pursuit will help you bring the best you to school everyday. I challenge you to use your purpose to drive every decision you make, passion to be a champion for every student, and your pursuit to excellence to persevere.

Bring an attitude to school each day that create an experience-riched atmosphere that will motivate and inspire students to want to be at school. These experiences should include holistic relationships, engaging lessons, and fun!  Create a school experience that will make our students want to be at school everyday.

Let your purpose inspire, your passion ignite, and your pursuit empower our students to excellence everyday.

Consciously make an effort everyday to bring your best you to school. Despite what we may be going through, our students deserve it! It is our obligation to provide our students with an educational experience that inspires them.

Here's a presentation to use with your teachers on discovering their WHY!
