World Teacher Day Reflection

I love being a teacher. From the moment I first found out that I would get to teach a class, that became an important identity to me. What it means has evolved over the years. It first felt like a responsibility to just tell great stories. Then I understood it to mean empowering students to think. My next phase was believing that it was my responsibility to help students pair thought and action. Now my goal is to support students in using their knowledge of my subject to become most fully themselves and stand in their own power. They keep me hopeful that we can change the world!
