What Makes a
Teacher ?
a walker, a talker, a corridor stalker
a leader, director, A tactful corrector
a role model, tutor, a whiz with computer
a natural persuader, a daily first aider
a reader, a writer, A reporter all nighter
a printer, protector, a problem deflector
a firm plan aheader, a sender of letter
a cardigan wearer, a snack time sharer
a divider, decider, a spare pen provider
a cutter, a sticker, a fair minded picker
a debater, relater, smile reinstater
a pairer, a carer, a lesson preparer
a defender, a lender, a broken heart mender
a creator, inventor, inspiring mentor
a smiler, a filer, a stay back a whiler
a parent reminder, lost property finder
a keen finder outer & Never a pouter
a describer, reviser, a trip organizer
a thinker, a winKer, a covered in inker
an on your sider, A classroom resider…
That’s what makes a teacher
