Some encouraging words from the 2012 Teacher of the Year:
"Teaching is such a kick-in-the-pants, joyous, gut-wrenching odyssey. It’s about to get very, very real all up in this place called the classroom. You’re going to do phenomenally, but it’s going to be challenging, frustrating and thrilling, often all three at once. I am so excited you’ve chosen to make teaching your life’s work. My heart is literally racing with excitement and hope for you. It’s going to change your life and you’ll never be the same after day one." Rebecca Mielwocki 2012 National Teacher of the Year |
