Quotables Don’t say no to opportunity. You never know where an opportunities and relationships will lead. A great educator shows perseverance and asks questions. Get to know the students in your cohort. Relationships go a long way. Make sure you sprinkle random acts of kindness throughout your day for yourself. The Education Podcast Network, whether it be a quote or idea, gives ideas to share out to students. You are always learning as a teacher, share that with your students. Spending 5-10 minutes throughout the day on yourself adds up by the end of the day. Join the Always A Lesson Newsletter Join here and grab a freebie!
