There will be days when you wonder if you are making a difference but always keep the reason why you became a teacher in the back of your mind.

Good teachers have an upbeat mood, a sense of vitality and energy, and see past momentary setbacks to the end goal. Positivity breeds creativity. jillmgreig https://padlet.com/d00235399/u248i8uao16j/wish/187394392 2017-09-14 01:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/d00235399/u248i8uao16j/wish/187394392 Successful teachers expect their students to succeedThis concept is similar for parents as well. Students need someone to believe in them. They need a wiser and older person to put stock in their abilities. Set the bar high and then create an environment where it’s okay to fail. This will motivate your students to keep trying until they reach the expectation you’ve set for them. jillmgreig https://padlet.com/d00235399/u248i8uao16j/wish/187395227 2017-09-14 01:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/d00235399/u248i8uao16j/wish/187395227 Successful teachers have a sense of humorHumor and wit make a lasting impression. It reduces stress and frustration, and gives people a chance to look at their circumstances from another point of view. If you interviewed 1000 students about their favorite teacher, I’ll bet 95% of them were hysterical. jillmgreig https://padlet.com/d00235399/u248i8uao16j/wish/187395303 2017-09-14 01:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/d00235399/u248i8uao16j/wish/187395303 Successful teachers use praise authenticallyStudents need encouragement yes, but real encouragement. It does no good to praise their work when you know it is only 50% of what they are capable of. You don’t want to create an environment where there is no praise or recognition; you want to create one where the praise that you offer is valuable BECAUSE you use it judiciously. jillmgreig https://padlet.com/d00235399/u248i8uao16j/wish/187395363 2017-09-14 01:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/d00235399/u248i8uao16j/wish/187395363 d00304538 https://padlet.com/d00235399/u248i8uao16j/wish/187409481 We need to know what is motivating us. Teachers need conviction. Why do we get out of bed each morning? Teaching isn't easy so before we step into the classroom we need to know. Why are we Teachers?

I am not good at asking for help, but it makes my life so much easier when I do! There are many teachers out there who have done this before and can guide me through it. Teaching is as much a learning experience for me as it is for my students. I need to be willing to ask questions and learn new things. It's the only way. ]]> 2017-09-14 03:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/d00235399/u248i8uao16j/wish/187414842 d00194544 https://padlet.com/d00235399/u248i8uao16j/wish/187425838 Sometimes students forgot what they learned, but over all a teacher can make a big impact on a student.
