A Teacher’s Pledge
Allan A. Glatthorn ~modified
I will see each child...
and let him see the person that I am.
I will listen to each child...
for I may be the only one who hears him cry.
I will know each child...
but not intrude upon his private self.
I will accept each child...
and help him become the person he would be.
I will respect each child...
as I respect the spirit in every person.
I will value each child...
so that he can have the strength to evaluate himself.
I will give him the skills...
so he can make his way without my help.
I will help him find the truth...
so he might know the mind of mankind.
I will show him beauty...
so that he might see the miracles of nature.
I will teach each child...
and learn from everyone I teach. |
