Helping Teachers Live Passionately
Dear Teacher,
Welcome to Daisies and Chalk! We all have heard that reflection of our practices help us become better teachers but how does one do that? For me, I write letters to myself about what I am thinking, what I am learning, what I am wondering, etc.... Daisies and Chalk is a collection of these letters available for you to read and reflect on.
Teaching is a career that requires passion, dedication, and compassion. It requires us to give a piece of ourselves to every student who walks in the door. This commitment that we share often means that we neglect other things in our life. We have to find the balance within ourselves to both teach and live. My book, The Path to Passionate Teaching, is a how-to-guide based upon my life and those of teachers closest to me. We have learned some tricks over the year that help us to live fully each day. You can join us each month on this path to becoming a Passionate Teacher.
Chat Soon,
Misty
