“As teachers, we mustconstantly try to improve schools and we must keep working at changing andexperimenting and trying until we have developed ways of reaching every child.”

~Albert Shanker

 
 
“I’ve come to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It’s my personal approach that creates the climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized.”
 
~Dr. Haim Ginott
