When did you last reflect on the long-term impact of your day-to-day work? Perhaps it’s time

Students come and go. The years pass, and the hard work ensues. But through it all, what remains is the legacy you leave as a teacher – and that matters more than you may realise. Perhaps it’s time to reflect on the long-term reach of your work: that your students will carry the impact of your lessons into their futures. Here, author and English teacher Ryan Wilson takes us on a trip down memory lane and also looks at the realities of everyday teaching, to help you refocus on the incredible difference you are making for the long term. And he invites us to think about the responsibility attached to that.
