Back-to-School Inspiration for Teachers

 

It's that time of the year that is dreaded for students and teachers alike - back to school. 

No one wants to have to know what day of the week it is... or set an alarm for 5am. 🙃

If you're feeling like... the worst level of dread for back-to-school, you need some ✨ inspiration ✨ to remember why you get up every morning and do the wonderful things you do!

I have 2 videos to share. They're both short and incredibly inspiring. You'll remember why you became a teacher in the first place and you might even get a little excited for this new school year!

👉 Pro tip for both videos - click the Settings gear and choose a faster speed. 

Back to School Inspiration #1

Every Kid Needs a Champion - Rita Pierson

I think I've seen this video in at least 3 back-to-school PDs before the students were back in the building.

It's just so good though. 

I recommend you watch it on 1.25 or 1.5 speed. Or skip to 6:12 if you just want the part that will make you laugh and feel ✨ inspired. ✨

Back to School Inspiration #2

What Teachers Make - Taylor Mali

I could watch this video on repeat and cry every. single. time. 😭

I hope these two videos are the back-to-school ✨ inspiration ✨ you need to remember why you became a teacher and why you get out of bed every morning during the school year.

The relationships are so important and you are making a difference in kids’ lives.

Students are learning Spanish because of you! They are learning more about the world around them outside of their neighborhood and building skills that will last forever! 

Now please excuse me while I go watch Taylor Mali 4 more times.
