Heart of a Teacher

The child arrives like a mystery box ...

with puzzle pieces inside

Some of the pieces are broken or missing ...

But the heart of a teacher can sort them out ...

and help the child to see

The potential for greatness he has within ...

a picture of what he can be.

Her/His goal isn 't just to teach knowledge ...

by filling the box with more parts

It's putting the pieces together . ..

to create a work of art.

The process is painfully slow at times ...

some need more help then others

each child is a work in progress...

With assorted shapes and colours.

First he/she creates a class room...

where the child can feel safe in school

where a child never feels threatened or afraid to try...

and kindness is always the rule.

He/She knows that the child...

can achieve much more

when he feels secure inside....

when he is valued and loved

and believes in himself...

and he has a sense of pride

She/He moulds and teaches good character...

and respect for one another

how to focus on strengths, Not weakness

and how to encourage each other

She/He gives the child the freedom he/she needs...

to make choices on his/her own

so he/she can learn to become more responsible ...

and is able to stand alone.

He is taught to be strong and thinks for himself...

as his soul and spirit heals

and the puzzle that's taking shape inside...

has a much more positive feel.
