I am an Oklahoma Teacher




I am an Oklahoma Teacher

I am an Oklahoma teacher
twenty-five years and counting.
For all students in this state,
I will always remain standing.

I choose the road not taken,
a new way to look at education.
Build classes across the curriculum
with creativity and innovation.

It's not just what is learned, 
but what is done with it.
It's not just about a test,
but commitment and work ethic.

Students are individuals with 
different strengths, interests, and talents.
Teach with these ideas in mind, and
they'll be ready for the challenge.

I am an Oklahoma teacher,
a rebel but not by choice.
Imagining the possibilities
It's time for you to hear my voice.
