Reflect the Integrity and Seriousness of Your Teaching

And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching.

Titus 2:7, NLT

Air1 does it again. I read my student evaluations from last semester today and this was my verse of the day. Between my teaching and being division chair, this is an excellent verse to hang on to and remember. Thank you, God!

Faith

I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray.

Psalm 17:6, NLT

What a great way to start the new year! Thanks, Air1 for this posting on 12/31/13.

Single Person's Prayer

In the summer of 2012, my friend Andrea (also a single person) wen to Banbury England. She brought back this postcard with a beautiful prayer. It was designed by Noreen Littleton, a member of the Guild of Gloucestershire Craftsmen, England. I don't know if Noreen wrote the prayer or did the calligraphy or both, but I love it all and need to pray it more often.

Why there are no teaching jobs

"Seventy percent of the faculty in my building have been teaching longer than I've been alive."

Geoff C. on a panel of new teachers presenting to pre-service teachers. This was his answer to the question, "Why is it so hard to get a teaching job?"

Galileo Got It

You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.

This is a new and more interesting way to say "learn from your mistakes." I like it!
