Teaching from the Heart

What is Teacher’s Pride?

BE PROUD AT ANY MOMENT!

Wondering mind brings curiosity and new discoveries.

The feeling when a teacher is approached by a student that expresses his/her positive thought about desiring to do the work again because it was so much fun and yet you know they actually learned from it. Well, that is what it means to have pride in your students. The feeling you know you’ve done something right. That feeling never leaves you. Its what enlightens you to keep coming up with more activities that will spark the interest of inquisitive children. That pride in you is the guiding light that leads you to igniting the fire in your classroom. Just the smile on the faces pushes you to persevere and to keep pushing. A teacher’s pride is the fuel all educators need to making things work in the classroom atmosphere.
