Passion

- The importance of knowing your own passions: content, professional and personal. We won't be passionate about everything in our jobs, but knowing what we're passionate about, motivates us to do the rest efficiently so that we can get to what we're passionate about.

- Get to know your teachers passions as well. Help them identify and tap into their own passions.

Top three activity (good for ice breaker)

Have teachers identify their top 3 favorite movies (or books) quickly and without collaborating. Give example of your own three favorite movies and the common theme they have and how you identify with that theme. Have them identify the theme in their movies and then with a partner have them share their top three movies and what they reveal about their passion as an educator.

Passion Wall

Have teachers put up pictures and statements about something they're passionate about. Teachers can have students do the same thing in their classroom.
