We teach students not just content

Over the past few weeks these two posts have popped up several times in my social media feeds:

And I'm reminded once again that we don't just teach subjects, we don't just teach content, we teach students.

I can have the best lesson plans, and the newest resources, and the fanciest technology but if I can't connect with kids, then it's all for naught.

So as the pressure builds to 'cover all the curriculum' before the end of the school year, take a moment to remember what's really important - the relationships that you are building with your students. Years from now, they may not remember every lesson you taught, but they will remember that you cared.
