Our book discussion is brought to you today by the letter E.
E is for Enthusiasm. Dave Burgess discusses that excellence as a teacher sets sail with your passion for what you do in life, and lands on the big red "X" with your enthusiasm.
What you have already accomplished...today, this month, last year, during your career...doesn't matter. You have to bring it now! The big secret to enthusiasm is that unlike passion, it can be faked! If you just aren't feeling it...fake it. Make a conscious decision to change what you focus on. Concentrate on what empowers you. Enthusiasm is completely contagious. Be sure to spread it liberally every day because our students have plenty of encounters with people trying to dampen their spirits.
How do you plan to bring your A-game every period? How will you show enthusiasm to your students? Infect your lessons and everything you do with enthusiasm...watch it grow exponentially!
