The Teachers Creed.
The Teachers Creed is a statement of principles for teachers and educators. Edwin Osgood Grover, an American author and professor, wrote it. It reads as follows:
I believe in boys and girls, the men and women of a great tomorrow; that whatsoever the boy soweth the man shall reap.
I believe in the curse of ignorance; in the efficacy of schools; in the dignity of teaching and in the joy of serving others.
I believe in wisdom as revealed in human lives as well as in the pages of the printed book; in lessons taught, not so much by precept as by example; in ability to work with the hands as well as to think with the head; in everything that makes life large and lovely.
I believe in beauty in the schoolroom, in the home, in daily life and out of doors.
I believe in laughter; in love; in faith; in all ideals and distant hopes that lure us on.
I believe that every hour of every day we receive a just reward for all we are and all we do.
I believe in the present and its opportunities; in the future and its promises; and in the divine joy of living.
