Kindergarten teacher extraordinaire Mr. Halpern, who blogs at Look at my happy rainbow!, just wrote a great post about why he loves his job. This is a time of year to make sure you have an answer to that question, because it's going to frame your entire year. It's not just a question for teachers, either; it's for school leaders, district administrators, and everyone else within the ed sphere.
If you're having trouble thinking of anything, you really need to reevaluate why you're working in education in the first place. You don't have to love everything about it--very few do--but there should be something that you absolutely adore.
So what do you love about your job in education?

I love so many things about teaching, but I think what I love most is that no two days are ever the same! As detailed as my lesson plans may be, I never know exactly where the day is going to take me--and that's the beauty of it. :) It definitely keeps me on my toes!!!
I love that my job allows me to ALWAYS looks for the best in every child and nurture that spark into a glowing smile or a full blown fire to do their very best. I love that after 33 years in Kindergarten, I still get excited when August comes around and I get to hone my skills once more to be the best teacher I can be, because these kids always deserve my best, too. I love that no matter how many candles I have on my cake, I'm still somewhere in the land between 18 and 99 to my students (somehow ageless). Have a great year, Mr. DeRosa, and savor every day!
