YOU are the perfect teacher


Cath Chell Director at Learn Well


What a challenging time to be a teacher! This wasn’t the start to the year that you had planned. Not only have you had to manage all of your personal worries and concerns, but you have also had to be there for each and every child in your care.


So how, when the first half term has left you feeling anxious, weary and over–burdened, do you start each day of the new term “with glittering eyes” and find the magic that is “hidden in the most unlikely places”? Surely, even our beloved Roald Dahl would be willing to have us aspire to less, in this, of all years. But wait, the inspirational characters in his stories always face great adversity and challenges with a special something in their hearts. Maybe if you can find a way to do this, then you will absolutely be teaching the children in your class the most valuable lesson of all: how to live well.


And it does start and end with you. You hold the magic wand in your classroom. How you are is more important than what you say or do. The children in your class will follow your glittering gaze, copy your curiosity, pass on your positivity and embrace your enthusiasm. But how can you be the wonderful Willy Wonka, the BFG and Miss Honey, all rolled up into one glorious perfect teacher package?


Well, the good news is, you don’t have to be. YOU are the perfect teacher for your class because you are the one who is there for them every day, you are the one who knows them, you are the one who cares for them and you are the one they love.


So how can you be your best you on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and still have some energy left to enjoy your weekend?
