"My goal is not catching students making mistakes and penalizing them; it is motivating them to listen and learn. Patience is important here because they are going to make the same errors many times before they begin to change."
Every teacher should have this quote taped on their desk as a reminder. This is what the heart of a teacher looks like. We guide, lead and encourage! However, patience is important! You can guide, lead and encourage but what happens when patience runs out? Those things become duty rather than delight. Patience is the blood that pumps the heart of a driven teacher.
