The Reward for our Work

Welcome to The Inspired Teacher Podcast! Today’s episode is inspired by a thought-provoking message I received from the Daily Insight email service. The email featured a quote from the renowned author Paulo Coelho, reminding us that the true rewards of our work lie not in what we gain but in who we become. As educators, it’s easy to focus on the tangible results of our efforts—grades, accolades, and outcomes—but Coelho's words offer a powerful perspective shift. Let’s dive into how embracing this mindset can transform our approach to teaching and fuel a deeper sense of purpose in the work we do every day.
