Through Parent Teacher conferences,and surprise admin visits, it’s easy to lose track of all that, however this week our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Anna Kowal, and Bri Richardson will be reminding you why we all became teachers in the first place.  Sometimes it's about the little things, small gestures that our students do that remind us that our hard work is appreciated. Bri reminisces how much a simple heartfelt compliment from a student can mean to her and how much it brightens up her entire day.  Now while we all appreciate the small things in life, sometimes it's really about those life changing revelations. As educators, our main goal is, and you’d never believe… is to educate. So we're excited to share our favorite moments of witnessing our students' transformations and those powerful "aha" moments.   Jump Right To It! 2:45 Teaching Triumphs Revealed 8:30 Classroom Confessions 15:00 Laughter in Learning 20:30 Student Stories That Inspire 26:50 Embracing Educational Challenges 35:10 Heartfelt Teaching Moments   So if you need a bit of an emotional pick me up, then tune into this week's episode of Teachers Off Duty.  Teachers get your perks!!
