The rewards for work are not limited to the paycheck; but extend to what we become as a result of our endeavors. - Unknown What We Really Do as Gymnastics Teachers Last month I wrote an article about easy ways to reward employees. I outlined many ways you could help workers feel valued and appreciated. There is no dismissing the importance of a smile, a thank you or a pat on the back. Perhaps the most essential reward an employee can receive is one that they can give themselves. The most vital reward is the intrinsic reward of simply feeling good about what we do because we recognize the true value of what we do. How do we accomplish the warm-fuzzies when all we do is "teach cartwheels?" Let's take a look at what we do. Patty PreSchool Teacher runs around and sings songs and plays with little kids all morning; Betty Beam Choreographer dances around all afternoon helping kids walk straight and point their toes; Victor Vault Coach stands around spotting handsprings all evening. When asked about what they do, most gymnastics instructors answer with things like, "I teach gymnastics" or "I coach level 5" or "I'm a preschool movement educator." |
