Evidence of Impact in Education

Outside the School Box by Chastity Jeff

A surprising text message led me to an unexpected revelation about the true impact of education. One of my former students reached out for a casual coffee catch-up, and through our wide-ranging conversation about everything from sports to dreams, I was humbled to discover the indelible imprint of our time in the classroom together.

Join me in redefining what success in education really looks like. It's not grade cards or standardized tests, but the subtle transformation in the student's language, application of knowledge, and wisdom towards life.

Whether you're a homeschooling parent, a co-op teacher, or an educator in a traditional school, I urge you to look beyond the immediate evidence of your educational impact.

Let's focus on the character-shaping lessons, the meaningful outcomes in the students' lives and their contributions to their communities. This episode is a call to action for all educators - to ensure our input not only results in high grades but also in meaningful, character-transforming outcomes.
