My public educator Pandemic Pledge





My public educator pledge

I have taught for so long, that I live and breathe teaching and learning. So forgive me if I struggle a bit, stumble around, and trying to find ways not to create greater distances, but new ways to use social media to cut the distances.
I shall teach,
I shall learn,
I shall listen,
I shall see,
I shall use my small teacher voice to call out.

I shall find new ways to say let us learn and grow together,
I shall give my all,
My best, and
Though I may stumble a bit,
I shall not fail our teachers and our children.

Teaching is not my job,
It is my vocation,
And my vocation still calls to me.

I will learn, grow, and teach my way forward through this pandemic,
For I am a public educator.

I teach the best & the brightest teachers

I teach the most talented & giving of themselves teachers

I teach these most amazing teachers & they are my heart

I teach the most amazing children whose hearts are the biggest in the world

I will fight in and out of the classroom for our children, parents & teachers
