Awards & shining teacher moments
I don't have a tangible reward, but my students come and eat breakfast in my room every morning, which I feel shows that they appreciate me. Recently the students in my class pooled together and bought me a bouquet of roses to show their appreciation. I have mentored 3 student teachers in my career so far, one is an assistant principal now, another is a dean of students, and another won teacher of the year for her district. I feel great about these accomplishments!
