Whether you believe it or not your students view you as a super hero.  It doesn't matter what grade level you teach.  You are a super hero because you are the person who makes learning fun.  You have the ability to make a goal that seems so out of reach, obtainable.  Think of that one student you have that works hard but always comes up short on an assessment.  You know that they are growing and improving but on paper it looks like they are still falling short.  Take time to reflect on what you have done, what can you still do?  Talk and network with other teachers.  WE ARE THE EXPERTS AT TEACHING!

So many times we think by asking for help we are admitting defeat.  I don't know who came up with that but every Super Hero I know has a sidekick.  Batman had Robin, The Hulk had Rick Jones, Green Lantern had Doiby Dickles and Wonder Woman had Wonder Girl.  So if a fictional character with superhuman powers can share the spotlight why can't we? 

"Coming together is a BEGINNING, Keeping together is PROGRESS and working together is SUCCESS!" - Henry Ford

Today, remember that your students are always watching.  They pick up on everything you lay down.  When you show defeat, they give up.  When you show perseverance, they trudge through the problem never looking back, only forward to the success that you help them achieve.
