If our leadership would take to such passion, they just might inspire a whole new paradigm shift within their staff. I read recently that so many principals focus on creating a "caring and welcoming" environment for the kids that they forget to do the same for the teachers. Considering the high percentage of teachers leaving the classroom, this makes sense. We all need a supportive environment that only an administrator can cultivate. We all need time to back away from the class and recharge. Blogs allow me to do just that (well, and summer break). Thank you for a wonderful post to have show up in my Bloglines right before heading back to the classroom. Awesome reflective post! This is the stuff great inspirational teachers are made of.
