Presented at the CiRCE Spring Regional Conference 2022.

William Wordsworth wrote, “The child is father of the man.” The children we teach are in the process of becoming men and women. Often parents, teachers, and students only see where students will end their journeys and not the way the small, large, daily, and random decisions add up to who those adults will be. The pattens children see and adopt are the ones they will live out as adults. In this session, we will look at some teachers to find models we can imitate in our classrooms during this crucial, transformational period to edify each student that God has placed in our classrooms.
