Happiness means many things to a teacher.
It can mean a student’s mastery of a much-agonized skill.
It can mean the completion of a week of lesson plans.
It might even mean that the dreaded yearly IPDP process is finally over.
While I, personally, have found happiness in such things recently, I’d like to add one more item to the list.
See if you can figure out what I mean by looking at the following picture…
As promised, two people in my district’s Media Services department visited my classroom during first period and switched out the bulb in the projector.
In true Auburnchick fashion, the bulb did not merely blow its fuse (or whatever it is that light bulbs do when they cease to shine).
Oh no.
The bulb, it was discovered, had SHATTERED inside the projector!!
Wow!
The switch only took a few minutes, during which time I continued to teach the lesson I’d been in the middle of.
When we turned on the projector, and the Smartboard lit up, I could have sworn I heard angels singing!
My students gave a round of applause.
One of my guys told the technicians, “You can play a part in our education no matter what you do!”
True statement (not to mention one very happy and grateful teacher)!

Kudos to the IT guys. Teachers simply cannot do their job without the support staff!
