This journal is designed to help teachers Reflect, Evolve, and Inspire. Documenting one's own experiences, feelings, and "aha moments" will help to maximize personal and professional growth. As a teacher when you elevate to your highest self, you will have greater influence on students and, ultimately, humanity.
In order for teachers to be effective, they must stay relevant and keep pace with the ever-so-changing times. That requires them to forever be students of the profession. As consummate students, teachers must endeavor to grow professionally, and real professional growth relies heavily on personal growth. It will be through self-awareness and an expansive perspective that professional development will have the biggest impact. How teachers grow as individuals will dictate the impact they have on students and those they encounter.
