Optimism

A teacher once told me that she could often tell on the first day of school what final grade each student would receive. What are your thoughts about this?An optimistic teacher is one who believes that every student in her class will succeed academically. An optimistic teacher believes that they can be a better teacher than they were the year before.

Can a teacher’s optimism brush off on students and colleagues and inspire them to do their best? When a teacher is optimistic, students feel encouraged and motivated. Classes can be exciting with teachers pushing their own limits while encouraging all students to believe in themselves.

Would you consider yourself to be optimistic?
