What do teachers make?


Taylor Mali's great way of looking what teachers make.
For as those who teach, coach or mentor others know:
If you only did it for the money - you wouldn't do it for long.
You have to have a love and passion for it and the rewards are bountiful.
But we also, on the other hand, have to reflect on the difference we make to those in our charge.

We often see in sport coaches that go on that one extra season with a group of players using the same methods and ideas and be unsuccessful, then a new coach comes in with fresh ideas and the achievements of the players are increased. It wasn't that the first coach was wrong but that what he was doing was no longer making a difference to those players.

Continual simple reflection looks at:
                                  - what I have done
                                  - did I make a difference
                                  - what could I do better
