Answering the Call: Because teaching is a not just a career, it’s a vocation.
How do the people on our staff end up at GSLP? As mentioned in our first Teacher Appreciation Week post, many staff members did not set out to become teachers from day one. However, they all eventually heard the call - that this was the path they were meant to be on.
Teaching is not an easy job. If you find it difficult to be around one or two preschoolers at home, imagine being in a room with 12 to 16 (or in some places, more!) of them, day in and day out. But teachers who feel the call thrive in this environment, taking on the challenge armed with an understanding of child development and a knack for communicating in a way that connects with young kids.
Teaching is an opportunity to serve the community, something we takes seriously at GSLP. Our teachers bring a sense of purpose to their work, knowing that they will help shape the future through their influence on children. That purpose drives them to give their best every day in the classroom. We are amazed every day at the hard work and dedication on display from our staff as they answer their call.
Each day during Teacher Appreciation Week, GSLP will share one of the many things that make our teachers such special people. We thank all our teachers for their hard work, dedication, and service to the community!
