Hello!

The article I’ve linked to talks about a “teacher leakage” and I am not quite sure that I understand what is meant by that.  I do understand that teachers in this country are neither appreciated nor valued appropriately to the level of service that they provide.  I am always amazed at the passion and power that a dedicated individual can bring to the classroom to touch lives and engage students in learning.  Our message here at the GATE is one of encouragement to each teacher:  Honor your power, bring your brilliance and transform the teaching!

Join with us this year as we continue to offer this empowering message through our live calls for the professional development series,”Five Things Powerful Teachers Do with…” Each of our guest experts will fill in the blank in this phrase with their message of help and empowerment for teachers everywhere.

Check back next week for a Powerful Teacher guest schedule and list of our professional development training opportunity calls that are a benefit of your membership here in the Global Association for Teacher Empowerment.  Remember our Charter Membership price is only available for a few more days.  Join now and don’t miss out on a single call in the series.

Okay!  On with our Guest Blog…

Enjoy!

Teresa
