Feeling the Need for Inspiration
Today I was feeling the need to fill my bucket. As an educator, my day is filled with planning, strategizing, and working hard to make learning easier for those in my community. But sometimes, educators need inspiration too, rather than always striving to inspire others.
This time I turned to my new good friend ChatGPT. Here is the prompt I used to find my muse: List 10 positive teaching quotes to inspire educators and help them recognize they are making a difference for children. Yeah, I like the results, and hope you do too.
