As a teacher, your role in a student’s life goes far beyond providing a great education. You are a leader, role model, coach, mentor, and facilitator of positive growth. Since students spend most of their time in your classroom, it is up to you and your fellow teachers to make the school a positive and stimulating environment where children can do their best work and be their best selves.
