Do It Yourself

your students, you at first be the only one to be able to see that talent in that child.  But when you get her the specialized training she needs and that talent blossoms into a wonderful skill that can bless others and the child’s life as well, you will have given her a gift for life.

Going to bat for your students also means not throwing any children away.  When young people are put into your care, that is a serious commitment that you are making to those children.  There is not one single child in your care of lesser value than the others.  So one way you demonstrate your commitment to being a teacher to every child is when one of your students gets in trouble you go to him or her and find a way to save that child’s educational career.

The last thing you want to see is a child expelled and sent out into the world with the stigma of “not good enough” for school. You have it in your power to get that child into alternative schools, to get him or her tutoring until this rough patch passes or to get him or her moved into a home school situation so the many years of education for that youngster are not lost over a difficult time in the life of the child.

The place you are granted in the life of your students is one of trust and caring that is a privileged one indeed.  Be sure you protect and cherish that gift by going to bat for your students when they need you there.  And who knows, down the road  your students may come back and go to bat for you in some way when you really need them too.
