In this episode, we travel to many different places to learn the story of Cristin, a teacher who has taught in Texas, Minnesota, Colorado, Mexico, Colombia, Albania and India. Cristin shares with us how wanting to know and communicate better with “cute boys” from Mexico led her on a path to study Spanish here in the U.S. as well as abroad. She explains how she gained new perspectives on different systems of education and different ways of teaching. Cristin shares with us how she learned that it’s not about the latest “bells and whistles”, but rather about a teacher’s passion for who, what and why they are teaching. She lives by a philosophy that most teachers live by (no matter where you live in the world!): “you are planting seeds of a tree that you will probably never sit in the shade of.” It is a teacher’s purpose and motivation. Teachers help grow the minds and hearts of children…one seed at a time. The impact and impression a teacher has on a child will last a lifetime, and visa versa. That is the magic of school and the real growth that we should be measuring!
