Greetings
Dear Reader,
As a
lifelong teacher I have harbored a dream that teachers harbor. That is the dream of one day having one of
my students become a teacher that works with you. Teachers and I mean real teachers long to
find their own kind and nurture them into the profession. We understand the value of learning. We get how the right investment of knowledge
and confidence into a student can change a life. We realize that very few people get the
actual value of what we do. When we see
someone with that potential who loves our area of teaching we want to invest
ourselves in them.

The
whole reason I accepted a leadership role in academics is because I love
mentoring other teachers. I love helping
them become better at their craft. I
love drawing the greatness out of them.
I also stand guardian over the quality of education. I stand sentinel over the trust bond that
must exist between student, teacher, and material. I only want quality teachers entrusted to my
students.
So I
pass on a sacred legacy. An academic
leader entrusted a classroom to me once.
He allowed me to teach a class during my graduate program as part of my
course requirements. He guided me in becoming
a good teacher. He taught the arcane
mysteries that have nothing to do with text books and lesson plans. Now I get to pass this on to another.
Yesterday
I began the process of hiring a student who graduated from my program as a
teacher. The Dean and Campus Director
heartily approved. All my colleagues
were impressed with the young man. This
coming quarter I will get to birth a new teacher. The fall quarter crisp with chilling air and
new potential will arrive with a new man teaching new students how to become
great. This is why I do the work I do.
Wishing
you joy in the journey,

Mat
13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer who has become a
disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home owner. He liberally
hands out new and old things from his great treasure store."
