Where is your burning spirit to make a difference as an educator? Have you always had it? Have you misplaced it? Or have you temporarily allowed others to hold the torch?
Has the excitement and newness faded? Are you feeling the pull of the fast paced society in which we live?
As you start Term 4, consider what you can do this term to reignite your passion as an educator.
When you lose your burning spirit to be an educator, it is easy to become pessimistic and see everything through a negative lens. Consider if this may have happened to you. If so, make an effort to reframe your thoughts. Reframing is a great way to reduce your negative thoughts and see things from a healthier mindset.
Make this term one to remember for your students. Spark their interest in a new topic and help guide them in developing the important skill of learning and experiencing success.
It is important to remember that while you think you are teaching a subject, what you are really doing is sharing yourself and your contagious passion for that particular subject and your students.
Find your fire, your passion or spark this term.
