Teaching Shoes
During my teaching career, I wore many different styles of shoes. As I slipped on the shoes my mind shifted to teacher mode, focus on classroom and students.
My Teaching Shoes
Time for school, put on my teaching shoes
Entered teaching career wearing shoes with heels
Going over lessons for the day ahead
Slip them on, embrace the teacher within
Through the years, shoes changed
Attire shifted more casual style
Thoughts on how to inspire, review skills
Slip them on, embrace teacher within
Field trips lace up the sneakers
Playground duty slip on comfy flats
Dress shoes mind goes to parent meetings
Slip them on, embrace the teacher within
Wardrobe of shoes for teaching set focus
To encouraging, guiding, inspiring students
To grow, to learn, to find shoes just for them
Slip them on, embrace their own path
(Shoes were sketched my aunt in 1935)
Love this so much and I can’t believe that your aunt sketched those shoes back in 1935 , she was very talented!!
Wonderful description of what a teacher does through the different shoes. Unfortunately some shoes I wore caused me to have back problems
