Passion and Motivation
Louise Derman-Sparks:
"I had a built-in passion that was important to make a contribution to the world and to fix all the injustices [...] through teaching."
Raymond Hernandez:
"I'm not here to save the world, I'm here just to make a difference."
Difficulties and Reinforcement
Edward Zigler:
"It is a good rule to face difficulties at the time they arise and not allow them to increase unacknowledged."
Lilian Katz:
"Of course children benefit from positive feedback. But praise and rewards are not the only methods of reinforcement. More emphasis should be placed on appreciation -- reinforcement related explicitly and directly to the content of a child's interest and efforts."
Raymond Hernandez:

I love Mr. Hernandez's quote. I used the same one. His quote resonates with me because I believe that if we all would commit to changing communites we ultimately will change the world.
All it takes is one person's dedication and willingness to change, no matter how small. Hernandez's view is simple yet effective.

I believe we as educators have to support social and emotional development and provide positive guidance along with children's interest and efforts.
