The Best Teachers Figure Out How to Handle Their Frustrations without Complaining – They Have Challenges, but They Don’t Dwell in Negativity.

All teachers are confronted with challenges during the day; they all face circumstances that could be discouraging. But good educators are not victims of unfair mandates, unruly kids, or unsupportive parents. They are change agents and they rise above the adversity. Teachers cannot control the parents, the mandates, or the class size. They can control their quality of instruction and the passion they bring into their classroom. Good teachers realize that they can control their own attitude. They choose to focus on what is positive. They remain mindful of the role that they play in the classroom, and they never forget their potential for impacting students. All teachers have bad days, and all teachers need to vent from time to time. Great teachers keep things in perspective.
