ABSTRACT

If you are a teacher, you have taught (or will teach) hundreds of kids. You are a professional, and you are creating a legacy every day that you come to work. You are leaving your mark – an indelible impression upon the children entrusted to your care. What will they remember about you I wonder … They may not remember your tier-two interventions. They may not remember your authentic assessments. They may not remember your brilliantly scaffolded lessons. They may not remember your innovative rubrics. They may not remember your curriculum map. They may not remember how cute your bulletin boards were. They may not remember their benchmark scores. They may not remember that you always had your objectives written on the board. They may not remember your bell-ringers or your exit slips. 98 They may not remember how many degrees you had or that you were “highly qualified.”
