Small Joys
August 25, 2008
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
-Marianne Williamson

Will Okun is a Chicago school teacher who traveled with New York Times columnist Nick Kristof in June to central Africa on the win-a-trip contest. Upon returning, he shared his views on teachers...

"For good reason, no profession complains about their jobs as much as teachers (except perhaps journalists). However, ask dedicated and passionate educators about their favorite aspect of teaching, and the answer is always the same: the students. Every school day, there is small joy."

Okum presented a beautiful photo montage of joyful teachers and students in Africa on the New York Times website.




The latest Beginnings Workshops Book, Professionalism, addresses the joys and challenges of being a teacher in the early childhood setting. This book includes sections on...

  • BEING TEACHERS
  • PROFESSIONALISM
