[Weekly Inspiration] Rita Pierson: Every kid needs a champion
Wednesday, February 14, 2018
Need a little pick me up for the week ahead? Look no further. We pulled one of our favorite TED Talks that will remind you how important you are to your students.
“Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.”
Rita Pierson, a 40-year veteran teacher, calls educators to embrace the challenges of the profession and focus on building genuine relationships with students. Her talk is a powerful reminder of the academic success all students are capable of achieving when they are empowered to believe in their own abilities.
Now get out there, rock your week!
