9. The Legacy of a Teacher

With Teacher Appreciation Week coming up, I started thinking about the impact that teachers have on their students’ lives. How one small or big thing you do in your classroom can help shape their future, career path, or their attitude towards something. It reminds me of the quote from the musical Hamilton - What is a legacy? It’s planting seeds in a garden you never get to see. I love that quote because it perfectly defines the role of the teacher and the difference they make in their students. So today’s episode is all about the legacy of a teacher.

The funny thing about a legacy is that in the moment, you don’t know the impact you’re having until it’s months or even years later. The day to day grind of teaching is exhausting. From lesson planning, gathering materials, finding resources, grading, dealing with behaviors, communication with parents, differentiating assignments, and so much more, it’s hard to see the positive changes you’re making.
