My November Positively Speaking article has been published at 5 Minutes for Mom. I write about family boundaries, but also the masterful teachers I’ve witnessed in my work as a school counselor.
You know who I’m talking about. Teachers who adopt their students for a year, as if they’re their own kids; who find ways to help even the neediest child to learn; who network with other master teachers to discover best practices to use in their classrooms; who share their expertise with parents to help them become more effective; who know their “kids”, love their “kids” and hurt if one moves away.
Today, I’d like to celebrate teachers that pass the torch. I’m honored to work with many - and I’m grateful my kids have benefited from them too. Do you know a pass-the-torch teacher?
You can join me each week, and pass the torch. Just share a simple or stupendous time kids make you proud, or a way you see adults passing the torch. Blog your story or share it in comments. My comment plugin will leave your link automatically. Former PTT posts. Complete Guidelines.

Oh, Kelly, I had a PERFECT PTT post, but it’s from the other day and I didn’t think about saving it… If you have time,

Silly me…I should’ve thought “smarter”.
Right now, btw, there’s a teacher who is being a great encouragement to my son, who’s having a bit of a tough school year. You’re right, I soooo appreciate HER!
