Many of you became teachers to make a difference in student lives.
While we must fill our lesson plans with standards and best practices, don't ever let that dull your sparkle.
THINK: Take a minute to reflect on a time when you were a student, specifically think back to your favorite teacher. what did he or she do to keep you engaged in content? I remember my third grade teacher played the piano, for everything! She would make songs up that went with content or simply sing songs for transitions. Her passion showed through her talents, and she quickly became one of my most memorable teachers!

My high school English Lit teacher always dressed up as a main character when we were starting a new book. It was a tough class so I remember loving that she always "hooked" us by playing the part. I think the "Act"ing part of SPARKLE may be my favorite part of being a teacher. You set the stage for how engaged your students are! :)
