There are points in our lives where we will feel a feeling of defeat.
There are points in our lives where we will feel a feeling of success.
What reaction will we express in that moment?
Empowerment.
How?
How can we feel empowered?
Often educators who are in empowering positions take for granted the support that they have, until they are exposed to the reality of the "outside". We, as educators, must empower other educators in need. We must be a listener. We must be an encourager. We must give hope. We must fight for them. We must be a voice for them.
We crave empowerment.
Why?
Why is it necessary we feel empowered?
What would you want your students to see? Defeat? Success?
Students need to be exposed to choices. They need to feel like they are leaders of their own learning. We are molding our future. We are creating the next generation. We are setting expectations to be achieved. We are smiling to let them know their worth. We are guiding them to let them know they are not alone.
They crave empowerment.
