As a teacher, each day presents the promise of possibility.
To be a teacher is to be a problem solver, a poet, an inventor, a creator, an explorer, and more.
Experience the possibility of untangling a student’s understanding of numbers, of awakening curiosities that shift life trajectories, and of creating social change.
If you want to make a dent in this world, explore your path to teaching.
Teachers are on the front lines addressing the injustices of our education system head-on. People like you who have decided to lead, inspire, and invest in an equal education for all.
And there is an emerging glimmer that the opportunity gap is narrowing. According to a recent article in the New York Times,
"The enormous gap in academic performance between high-income and low-income children has begun to narrow. Children entering kindergarten today are more equally prepared than they were in the late 1990's."
So no, teaching isn’t always easy, but because the problems are solvable, the rewards are unparalleled.
Although there is still an enormous amount of work ahead - take the first step. Choose to make a difference, and get paid to do it.
