Content: These students need their teacher to figure out how they can support them and encourage them. These students need teachers to show them their potential and find out what works for them to learn best. Everyone learns differently and it is up to teachers to find out how these students learn effectively. The feeling you get when these students turn those statements around and into, “I did it! I am so proud of myself,” is absolutely priceless. Don’t let your students give up and never ever give up on them either. We live for those moments. 3. YOU GET TO BE SURROUNDED WITH LOVE
As a teacher, it is so rewarding to go to work and be surrounded by love all around me! Sometimes, during a busy time or stressful day, a simple “I love you Miss” or a doodle from a student on their free time, can instantly put a smile on my face.
