At my school we have faculty meetings every month. Each team leader is responsible for the "inspirational message" at a meeting. I saw this TED Talk this summer and knew it would be perfect for my message so I asked for the month of September. I am thoroughly exhausted, cried all the way to work last Friday, had a panic attack after I got to work last Friday, have watched several colleagues break down in tears and I myself am on the edge of a nervous breakdown! But I am reminded, from Dr. Rita Pierson, that I am an educator and I was born to make a difference!
I haven't been reading the blogs I follow lately and when I clicked on yours this morning and found this I was so excited. I hope that I can show it to my fellow faculty members soon. I have many peers who are just showing up each day, who don't like the kids and don't care about them. Maybe this will help. Thanks for putting it out there.
