In sports, the field (or court, gym, course) is nearly sacred. Great care and attention are expended to make sure that it is maintained in near pristine condition to ensure that the game is enhanced and optimized when it is being used.  Broken equipment is not stored on the field. Equipment for other sports is not placed on the field.  Distracting comfort items are not available on the field.

As a teacher, your classroom is your field for your content. As you get ready for school this year, think about everything in your classroom and judge it by this standard… Does it junk up my field?

Think. Work. Achieve.

Your turn…
