#32: Teacher Connections

I've been away at the TESOL convention the last few days in Boston. While presenting, informally chatting, and networking, I've been able to see once again that the strength of education lies in its teachers and its leadership. The passion and commitment of many to improve community (both local and global) is something that leaves me (yes, even me) speechless. These people and their narratives blow me away. I give thanks to those who have taught me and those who are so privileged as to spend their lives serving as teachers of others!
