Today I realized just how much teaching will prepare me for motherhood...It happened when someone made a comment during Sunday school about Heavenly Father being in charge of the big things, and the little things. I began to see how teachers live in a similar sphere: They are in charge of big things and the little details.
Heavenly Father is in control of all things...and teachers are in control of all things within their classroom.
Watch for the symbolism with God:
Teachers are responsible to keep the entire room going. They make it a good environment for learning and change. It It looks pleasant. The room and teachers are organized. Teachers know all things about the space. Teachers know the final learning goal...they know the path to get there, and they know the specific skills needed to get to the final destination
But teachers are also in charge of knowing each individual student: their personality, how personality affects learning, triggers and positive reinforcers, and all of the individual skills possessed. Teachers also have a knowledge of tricks, accommodations, and strategies to help that specific child.
Teachers are in charge of all things, on a grad scale, but they are also very aware of the individual needs of each child. They run an organization, AND they minister to the one. Do you see the connection to Heavenly Father?
