We get this question a lot and have an extensive list of reasons to become a teacher from experts around the country at our Teachers of Tomorrow<\/a> blog. And there are great resources all around the web on why to be a teachers.<\/p>\n

But we love what Michigan Teacher of the Year Laura Lang has said about her teaching practice. She has “3 Rocks” she has written on the back of her phone to always remind her of what she is doing.\u00a0 She was selected from all the teachers in the state as the best for the 2018-2019 school year.\u00a0 She teachers second grade.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. She is focused on creating\u00a0create kind, collaborative, contributing members of the community<\/li>\n
  2. She inspires kids to be lifelong learners by making lessons fun, exciting, hands-on, and relevant, she said. \u201cIt\u2019s so important that students understand the \u2018why\u2019 and the big picture of what we\u2019re learning and how it will help them later in their life.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Empowering students to stand up for one another is her third big rock<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is truly what it means to teach.\u00a0 The passion and patience to create amazing kids.\u00a0 If that is for you -it is time to teach.<\/p>\n
