All of us are teachers in some form or fashion even if we don't have an official job title. We are all sharing what we have learned with others, directly and/or indirectly whether this is acknowledged or quietly understood. Great teachers inspire. They become human catalysts for positive transformation, motivation and empowerment. Additionally, master teachers impart knowledge in a way that makes the sometimes complex learning process more attainable because they make us believe in ourselves; they inculcate the idea into our hearts that there are no limits to our potential. Beloved teachers help us to discover and appreciate our own unique identity through hope, patience, timeless wisdom, encouragement, but most importantly, with unconditional love.This journal contains messages that remind us of the power of an effective teacher-one who plants seeds of greatness that will grow and last beyond a single lifetime, and flourish for generations that follow. As Henry Adams once said, "A teacher affects all of eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops."While this resource can be used in a myriad of ways, may it will help you teach with fervor; learn more than you can imagine; and become a voice of inspiration to the children you serve.About the Author: C.
