This week as I was walking out of the main office when the school's resource officer stopped me to talk. He was telling me about wanting to get his degree and become a Public Safety Instructor in the school. He has enrolled in school and is ready to get started. He said that he is so excited and he has been watching what I have been doing with my kids and my program and he feels that I am doing a wonderful job. He said he has been thinking of things that he wants to do for the kids when he becomes a teacher. He said that his ideas have come to him from seeing what my kids have accomplished the past two years. This really made me feel good. It made me feel that maybe I am making a difference. I sure hope so!
It is good to know that someone is always watching even when we don't realize. keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteExcellent job Tracey! You know, we always worry about what the kids see us doing but have we ever stopped to consider the influence we have on the other adults in the building?
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful, Tracy!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with Julia and Julie. Someone is always observing and being influenced by what we do. Even if we don't even know they are. Or not even thinking about it.
If they continue to overload and place behavioral problem students in my class, tell him you may know of a potential job opening!..ha!
ReplyDeleteGood job! keep up the good work,...actions really do speak louder than words!
