Friday Focus: Why is teaching the greatest profession?

Teaching is an increasingly demanding job that can be emotionally draining, and at times feel impossible. However, despite all of that teaching continues to be the best job in the world. Here are some reasons why.

1. The potential to transform lives – ask any teacher who has helped a student in any number of ways, from academic to emotional learning, and they will tell you that helping OUR KIDS succeed it one of the greatest feelings.

2. Teaching gives you the chance to be creative – of course there are levels of accountability in teaching, but teachers can be creative in every lesson. Teachers have so many opportunities to try new ideas to ensure the best learning environment is generated.

3. In teaching there is always satisfaction somewhere – teaching is a calling, and no one enters it without his or her inner voice telling him or her that. Teachers have their hearts in the right place for OUR KIDS.

4. Teaching gives a chance to truly to lead the world in the 21st century – introducing students to new technologies and ways of presenting and collaborating with others with what they know is truly exciting and truly inspiring. Teachers are innovative each day, and teachers should hold their heads up high, when they look back and see how learning in this day and age took a radical but enormously beneficial turn for the better.

5. OUR KIDS
