“So I wanted to share a few thoughts on ways to inspire others, some ways to offer hope. If it seems like you've experienced more despair and hopelessness recently, you're not alone. I think that's a common experience for educators right now.”
I read this article and thought it was great! There were great ideas and inspiration but I hope the author posts this again in the middle of the school year too.
It is easy at the beginning of the year to feel motivated and energized because you have had all summer to “rest” (even though I’ve never met a teacher who rested during the summer!). The beginning of the year is always exciting and new but by the middle of the year, things get slower and older. This is the time I think people need to be reminded of hope and inspiration.
So, if you find things that inspire you, bookmark them, file them, or print them out and put them in a file to be looked at in the future. Many people share things that can be very inspiring but right now you don’t have the time to really look at them and get what you need from them. Don’t forget about these things or throw them away. They may come in handy in the future.
When you are discouraged and feeling down, it is time to pull out that file or bookmarks and remind yourself that there is hope for success. These things will help pull you out of the doldrums just when you need them.
There is hope and inspiration out there!
