I began my career as an @HCPSS educator 15 years ago. I’ll never forget our principal asking, “what is your most important job as an educator?” At that first staff meeting. In my mind, it was educating kids to be critical thinkers (among many other things). I was surprised (along with my colleagues) when he said, “your most important role as an educator, is to keep these kids safe.” Now more than ever, those words ring true. I don’t think that there’s an educator out there that isn’t concerned about the welfare of their students.
