My sister is teaching in a Long-Term Occasional position for this full school year. After listening to an inspirational speaker she realized that calling her students Champions instead of students or boys and girls would be a simple yet empowering change in her daily dialogue. My mom, sister, and I created an acrostic poem for the word Champions and turned the blank back wall of her classroom into a colourful and empowering wall.

Love this concept! Emphasizes the importance of the words we choose and how empowering they can or may not be!

I am the teacher she is writing about! My students are loving this! And they’ve been really focused on being “champions” in all that they do!!
