“How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” ~ Unknown
This month’s blog is a friendly
reminder for educators. Everything cannot
be taught in one lesson, one week or one month.
As we begin to succumb to the numerous stressors that are inevitable,
there are several things to remember. Take
the time to unpack the skills for your students, creating a consistent flow and
their growth will be apparent. As
educators, it’s tempting to teach, reteach, remediate and then stress. Once concepts are taught, give students an
opportunity to digest the lesson. Each of
your students may not experience the light bulb at the same time, but it will
come. Remind yourself to breath and you
will be just fine. We are only one
quarter in. This is not the time to throw
in the towel. It’s time to reboot and
get back in the game. You eat an elephant
“one bite at a time” and you teach a child, one lesson at a time.
