Enjoy Your Job and Be Remembered

This teacher tells an interesting story that surprised her.  All teachers want to engage their students. We have many tech tools these days that can do this quite effectively.  But how about being inspired? The author says that the role of teachers have changed from the "sage on the stage" to the "guide on the side."  With various tools and many instructional leaders providing curriculum and guidance, we teachers have to be the caring human touch in the process and enjoy what we do.

What Laryngitis Taught This Middle School Teacher

We teachers often come to school feeling lousy with a cold which we probably should have stayed home.  This teacher's cold turned to laryngitis - a nightmare, so she thought.  Instead, wonderful things happened.  Read this article to find out what happened.  Though this teacher wouldn't wish laryngitis on anyone, what can happen proves what a great teacher she has been.  We can all learn from this, laryngitis or not.

Anything like this happen to you?  Share you story with us below.
