I believe that my weaknesses are what help my kids most. When I teach to my weaknesses, I expose my faults, I take risks, I attempt to do things I did not know I could do...when I teach to my weaknesses I can put myself into the heads of my struggling students, into the heads of my students who come to school each day carrying baggage no child should have to carry. I believe that with our shorter class periods, our bigger classes, more data to collect, and more meetings and paperwork to file that I am now relying more on my strengths to get me through each day that I am losing the connection with the kids who need it most. <br /><br />I believe that one person can make a difference. <br /><br />Thanks for the post Terry...and the nomination.Paul Bogushhttp://blogush.edublogs.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3848510409060781412.post-24733790103339067542011-10-12T20:37:59.750-05:002011-10-12T20:37:59.750-05:00I believe you are correct.I believe you are correct.Kellyhttp://messerly.edublogs.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3848510409060781412.post-13623384808548476162011-10-12T16:14:11.438-05:002011-10-12T16:14:11.438-05:00I believe it is my job to help a child be successf...I believe it is my job to help a child be successful. I believe when a child fails, I failed. I believe that all children, with the right tools, can demonstrate greatness. And I believe, as you do, that what is happening today in education is destroying education.Lisa Parisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139683732388415845noreply@blogger.com
