Well, after I dried my tears…I realized the most important thing I know about teaching, Beers writes in this chapter “We must, at all times, remember that we don’t teach a subject, we don’t teach to a test, we teach you--specific children with specific needs.” Teaching is my second career, but more importantly teaching is my dream. I believe that becoming a teacher is a privilege, not a right.
My challenge to every one of us on the course of becoming a “Teacher” is to approach this journey with an open mind and a willingness to learn…only then, will you be able to teach.
In conclusion, I will end with another Beers quote “To be called ‘Teacher’ might indeed be one of the greatest compliments one could ever receive.”
