Questions to Consider: You as a teacher...

Consider the following questions:

• Why did I become a teacher?
• What do I stand for as a teacher?
• What do I want my legacy as a teacher to be?

Livsey, R. C. (2000). The courage to teach: A guide for reflection and renewal. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass. (questions taken verbatim)

These questions explore three different stages of your life as a teacher: the past (why did you become a teacher?), the present (what do you stand for as a teacher?) and the future (what do you want your legacy as a teacher to be?). How we respond to all three can inform our current practice of teaching by reminding us of just why it is that we have chosen this profession.

You will find information about this general topic in this Instructor section of the website.
