Teacher Appreciation

Many thanks to the PTA for providing Zambean vouchers to the team as part of teacher appreciation. That was a lovely treat! 

Under the best of circumstances, teaching is extraordinarily difficult. Teachers have to be ready every day with engaging lessons across a variety of topics and then be ready to adjust those lessons to the abilities, background knowledge, mental blocks, passions, and daily mood swings of as many as two dozen unique individuals sitting before them at any one time. When the lessons are done, there are papers to grade, Managebac or SeeSaw posts to update, meetings to attend, activities to coach, and extra help sessions to support students. And now we have to do all this while also serving as health and safety police!
​
I stand in awe of our teachers’ dedication, flexibility, and perseverance. This year has tested them all in ways we never imagined and they are pressing on. They are superior role models for our young people. If you haven’t done so already, please find a few moments to recognize these fine professionals for their important impact on your child.
