Celebrate Legendary Teacher Day
The first step in celebrating a legendary teacher is to reflect on your or your child's education.
Reflect on your teachers who pushed you or your child. Reflect on your teachers who held you accountable. And, reflect on your teachers who went above and beyond and invested in your personal success. At this point, you have likely identified a number of your teachers over the years who have collectively contributed to your academic success.
Now, how do you act on your desire to recognize your personal teaching legend?
Active β If your legendary teacher is currently teaching, reach out to them personally. Be sure to cite the specific reason that they are your legend.
