What is teaching to you? Can you say it in 6 words?
We breathe each day to grow.

Two Florida teachers, in conjunction with the Carrboro-based Center for Teaching Qualityand the group Six-Word Memoir have created a new way to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week which begins May 5. They're rallying teachers to add their voices an tell the world what teaching really is.
You are invited to share your definitions, stories, small wins, big wins, or manifestos via social media. Think tweet, blog post, Vine, Instagram, YouTube, shareable graphic, Six Word Memoir.
But the key is to use the hashtag #TeachingIs. That way all of the contributions can be collected and shared.
Take a look at this Thunderclapwhich spells out the project. You will be able to browse all #TeachingIs submissions here.
Consider starting with the6 word memoir.
