New year, better me. Not new, still me, only better. That is my goal going into this new year. Reflecting on my career shift this school year prompted some soul searching about my beliefs. What do I truly believe about education? Teaching and learning? My role in all of it?
Here's what I arrived at today: I believe all students can learn. I believe that learning is rooted in relationships. I believe that everyone needs a coach. Someone who inspires, encourages, motivates and challenges them to be better. I believe that all people regardless of age need someone to teach them that they can do hard things. I believe that things don't get easier, we just get better at handling the hard things. I believe a better you, is better for everyone. I believe that I was born to make a difference in the lives of people and teaching is one way I can influence students and their families. This year I hope that each person I encounter professionally and personally, walks away from our interaction feeling better about themselves and possibilities. I'm not sure if Theodore Roosevelt really said it, but the world has attributed this quote to him and it hangs on my office wall: "Believe you can, and you're halfway there". What do you believe?
