“REAL Heroes Work In Schools!”
Four
main points of the 45-minute presentation:
1) A good chef
can make a great lemonade … but only if they get the
exact
right lemons.
The real heroes at schools make smarter, happier kids
from
every
kid imaginable,
from
every
background,
with every
strength,
with every
challenge,
from every
community
and every
family
situation! Anybody can make great lemonade with the
specifically recommended lemons, but teachers year after
year make great lemonade from every kind of produce in the
grocery store – proving that all
kids have great
potential.
2)
See the big picture, but live in the moment.
When an
educator is burdened with a thousand and one tests,
conferences and meetings, it’s easy to have their thoughts
on what’s going on tomorrow.
But by remembering to always focus on the student in front
of them at the very moment the student is there both the
teacher and student gain the true joy that learning gives.
3)
Never forget the joys and never forget the
fun. Before
concluding with the presentation’s uplifting ending, I love
to share some of the more hilarious moments I’ve
encountered in twenty years of working with students. An
emergency, standby change of underwear is recommended for
this very funny portion of the presentation. Of course,
these kind of stories happen to everyone in
education. The point
is to enjoy and share them.
4)
Our educators are building the pillars of the future
that will affect the world
for generations to come.
Five hundred years ago a man walks by three bricklayers. He
asks each one the same question, “What are you doing?”
The first one replies, “I’m laying bricks.”
The second one replies, “I’m building a mighty wall.”
The third one replies, “I’m building a beautiful cathedral
that my children, their children and their children after
them will enjoy
for generations to come.”
Our educators (and that includes everyone who works with
our kids – teachers, counselors, staff, bus drivers
--
everyone) should have
the viewpoint of the third bricklayer. They aren’t merely
preventing kids from running in the hall or making sure
they know 5 x 6 = 30.
Our educators are building the pillars of the future that
will affect the world
for generations to come.
Your attendees will leave the presentation refreshed,
inspired and more charged-up than ever to meet the
challenges of their jobs.
