This is a very great reminder for me as I look through the data from the surveys I give to students and staff members about my counseling program. Although it tends to be positive, why is it that I ruminate on the negatives? I know that I purposely ask for feedback because I want to improve... but sometimes it still stings a bit to get that information. Today is all about turning a negative into a positive, finding a strength in a weakness, becoming better and thriving as a school counselor. We can all, always, do better. So that's just what I'm setting out to do.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
A special shout-out goes to Mrs. Pickerign, my 6th grade teacher, who taught me compassion, composure and leadership. I'm sure I learned reading, writing and arithmetic from her too, haha. But, sometimes we forget that the most important things we learn from our teachers doesn't come from a test, a canned curriculum or a state standard. Thank you to Mrs. Pickerign, and all of the wonderful teachers who are forging forward in this profession, despite the sometimes daunting nature of it all.
