Words of Inspiration and Motivation

“Most of our qualified teachers are under paid, and many of our paid teachers are unqualified. So we must give every child a place to sit and a teacher to learn from. Poverty must not be a bar to learning, and learning must offer an escape from poverty.”- Lyndon B. Johnson

“The price of doing the same old thing is far higher than the price of change.”- William (Bill)
Clinton


“Home is a child's first and most important classroom.” 
 
Hillary Rodham Clinton, It Takes a Village

"I had a built in passion that it was important to make a real contribution in the world...So the passion to create a safer, more just world for all kids is there and suppose will be there until I die and maybe even after." -Louise Derman-Sparks

These four quotes are very inspiring and motivational to me. They all represent what I feel early childhood educators should embody in their knowledge to become the best professionals they can be.
