There was some really great information in these articles. I especially liked the article “What I Wish My Professors Had Told Me.” This article has a number of things which can serve as good reminders on bad days, such as “Loving Kids Is Not Enough” and “Dismiss the Notion of Perfect Lessons.” They are good reminders that we are here to teach kids, and it may not always be perfect, but as long as we persevere and give the students what they need, then we are succeeding. When I have a bad day, or lose sight of what I’m doing, I can pull these articles out and read them again to remind myself that what I’m doing matters and that I CAN do it!
