Fran Picco

To be a passionate teacher is to be someone in love with a field of knowledge, deeply stirred by issues and ideas, that challenge our world, drawn to the dilemmas and potentials of the young people who come into class each day…only when teachers bring their passions about learning and life into their daily work can they dispel the fog of passive compliance or active disinterest that surrounds so many students… (Fried, 1995)

We are all teachers at many moments and for longer moments at times on our journey. To be passionate, to feel what is in our heart that drives us is a gift we show the world. When we show the world our passion we teach by being our true self. When we see passion in others we are the student and our hearts are touched to do the same.
