Extra Mile


Do you go the extra mile for your students?  Are you all they have?  Do you sacrifice time with your family to tutor after school, before school, drive to pick up students to tutor during the summer?  Do you stay up late creating amazing, high level lessons to engage and differentiate for every learner?  Do you spend your own money on books, manipulatives, posters, markers, glue sticks whatever your class needs?  If you do, guess what? You are few and far between.  

Don't be a teacher who punches in and out every day.  Go all in.  That is what this job requires.  Don't settle for just being a good teacher.  Rise up, be the best you can be.  If you don't know better, do the best you can then when you know better, do better. Going the extra mile is never crowded BUT keep doing what you're doing and modeling going above and beyond till the road becomes crowded, very crowded indeed...
