My student passed the STAAR and ran around in disbelief. Really touched my heart. Read more for the full story.
I pulled each of my students aside yesterday to go over their recent STAAR results with them. All of my students in this class retook the STAAR this past December. One of my students is a senior that has taken the STAAR every semester since freshman year. This time he finally passed. The moment I found out I could not wait to tell. For graduation, for his confidence, this was big and I was excited for him.
When I pulled him aside, he could not believe it. “Really” he asked me. When I showed him the proof he literally jumped up, ran out of the room and screamed down the hall. In any other situation I would have be furious if a student ran out of the room screaming, this time I wanted to join him. When he returned I could tell his eyes crying. I was happy to see him so excited and celebrate. He worked hard and deserved jump in joy. As teacher we have to take time to celebrate their success with them. I feel lucky to have helped in some small way this time.
