What I'm Doing...
School started this week in my school district. It started without me. After much prayer and consideration over the last year, I resigned and stepped away from being in a classroom for now (maybe for good). Why after 19 years did I step away? Reason 1: I found myself in a toxic work environment after some work changes. Reason 2: Keeping up with the paperwork in Special Ed was taking the fun out of teaching. Reason 3: I was going to be moved to a different job. Instead of working with Resource students where there was a behavior or two, I would be working with behavior students all day, every day. So I stepped away.

As you head back to school this year, one area to look at often is your attitude. The teacher's attitude goes a long way in helping the classroom environment. It's hard when that one kid is always late to class and not prepared. It's hard when that one kid gets 5 others off-task. It's hard when half the class didn't do their homework. I know I didn't always have the right attitude with students. Every day is a challenge, but your attitude with those easy and difficult situations makes all the difference. Go make a difference this year with a positive attitude.
