LifeChanger Award .@NLGroup_LCOY (X 1/31/15)

Without a doubt, all teachers are Life Changers!  The world could not move forward without teachers.  Behind every person is a teacher.  Yes, even the President of the United States attended school.  In my opinion, teachers should be the HIGHEST paid professional PERIOD for this very reason.  Teachers are remembered for the smallest gestures, lessons, or just being themselves by former students.  Let those lawmakers measure THAT!

Those same small gestures expand to any school employee.  Years after leaving the elementary school, I had a student return as a high schooler talking about the “pinky promise” he made with me and the cafeteria worker that he would bring in the few pennies owed for his lunch.  The pinky promise was HIS idea!  I will never forget the proud look on his face the following day when he brought in the money owed.  Yes, we celebrated–BIG!  The student loved telling the story especially the celebratory high fives and dancing he experienced when following through on his pinky promise.  Was that a Life Changer event, you bet!

Every school employee is eligible for the National Life Group Life Changer of the Year Award.  Did that “pinky promise” meet the Selection Criteria for the award?

Selection Criteria:

A proven ability to make a beneficial difference in the lives of students
An ability to positively add to the development of the school’s atmosphere
A leader in his or her activities at the school and/or district level
A proven record of excellent performance at the professional level
A commitment to producing a nurturing atmosphere

In my opinion, all criteria was met with this teeny tiny pinky promise!  Although my Life Changer story is not eligible for any prize, yours could be the winner of one of the prizes to be awarded.
