The Great Ones Go One More Round:What does “one more round” mean to you?What do you do (or could you do) to leave your school and those around you better than you found it/them?
"One more round" is about persevering and being there for students, especially those facing tough times. As a high school teacher, it means being a constant support and positive influence, even when tired and overwhelmed. Whether it's finding new ways to teach, checking in on students, or lending a helping hand to colleagues, these small actions can make a big difference. By sharing my passions and staying persistent, I hope to inspire students to keep moving forward. In the end, "one more round" is about pushing through the adversity to make a positive impact where everyone feels valued and encouraged.
ONE MORE ROUND--Do not give up on the work or yourself. If I say just one more round, I have things to complete and I am not finished with them yet. Each day at school is different and if I can leave one day and say the next day is another round and start fresh, that is helpful. What is done is done, but what is yet to come is unknown so don't throw things away just because today did not go as expected. Life throws the curves and we may take a swing and miss and that may happen many times before we get a hit. Finding new ways to connect, teach, inspire is challenging. But I must stay persistent as I love these kids and want them to be their best.
The Great Ones Go One More Round: What does “one more round” mean to you? What do you do (or could you do) to leave your school and those around you better than you found it/them?
Going one more round to me simply not giving up. It means no matter how challenging and defeating something may be, you keep going until you consider it your success. I think when tasks or days are draining it is challenging to not just give the minimum to get through it and make tomorrow a better day. It is important to go the extra mile to get "one more round." I think it is important to teach students to not just do the minimum to get by somedays, even if that feels like the easy thing to do. We need to encourage them (and model for them) that going one more round should be happening every single day.
I believe that what is meant by “going one more round” simply means not giving up. Of course, things are going to be challenging, but it’s how we face adversity and don’t quit that the author is telling us really matters. Our willingness to keep going, to keep learning and improving, knowing we do not have to be and won’t be perfect is important. In my work, as a School Counselor, it means to me that I am leaving the students and families in a place with empathy, support and resources that help them and hopefully leave them in a place that will be better for them than when they came to me. It also means supporting my students, families and co-workers in ways that help them feel seen and valuable. Lastly, it means continuing to work on myself personally and professionally so that I am best prepared to show up and give back. As a School Counselor and adult, I can model this by showing what it looks like to persevere and demonstrating that it is okay to make mistakes, as long as you learn from them and work towards improvement.
'Go one more round" to me means pushing past the limits set to achieve more. It's about grit, perseverance, and overcoming the mental barrier that says you can't do more and building confidence in your ability to handle the hardships. As a substitute teacher, I feel I foster a positive, safe environment by building rapport with students. Nothing makes me happier when students walk in and see me and say ' YES! I love when you sub...."
"To go one more round" means to me is not throwing in the towel when the day is not going well. Going one more round is about going through life with integrity and character. Those days that set you back will inspire you to get back up with a plan so your dreams will come true. I would also like to help my students and fellow educators to also keep going one more round which would improve my school and community.
The Great Ones Go One More Round: What does “one more round” mean to you? What do you do (or could you do) to leave your school and those around you better than you found it/them? To me this means you don't give up when things get tough. There are going to be tough days and we need to show up even more on those day for kids and fellow educators. We use the word persevere a lot in my room, when plan A doesn't work we try plan B. In the classroom or life in general we will always face challenges and we need to be resilient and keep trying despite feeling like quitting.
"One more round" means to me another chance or the round previously was not fully complete as in a saying I like to use "I don't now that yet". What can I do to help leave my school and those around me?" I can continue to build relationships with students and staff. Each day, I make a point of greeting and talking to students, I want all students to feel heard, and valued. I make sure I am visible and present for students and staff. I check in with teachers, whether its stopping by there classroom for a quick "Hi" which gives me an opportunity to see how things are going or if there are any needs that I can help with anything immediately. If there are questions that staff has that I don't have the answer, I make sure I go find the answers and follow-up. Showing up and consistency makes a huge difference where I feel I can do everyday for the students and staff.
The Great Ones Go One More Round: What does “one more round” mean to you?
One more round simply means to never give up. Make sure you know that there have been countless others who may have had the excuse to give up, but they just seem to bounce back and have no regrets. You might have another path to go in the other round, but there's always another round.
What do you do (or could you do) to leave your school and those around you better than you found it/them?
I like the sign he puts in the classroom "Pride in Performance" because it's true that kids these days get a reward whether they put forth effort or not; thus it's not really rewardable. Pride in performance means simply to put for your best effort and take some pride in that.
To me, "Going one more round", means not quitting, even when things are hard. You need to be able to face challenges. If you fail at something, then you need to be able to come up with a different plan to meet the challenge. I work on building strong relationships with all of my students, so that they know I am their biggest cheerleader in all that they do. I want them to always know how proud they make me, and that I won't give up on them
One more round means to always finish strong. No matter how hard or tired you may feel, finish strong and go one more round. That is something that my parents have instilled in me growing up with whatever I was passionate about either in sports, school, projects, etc. In order to leave the school better than I found it, some things that should be done is figure out what's not working, and try again. Always try again until it feels like you've succeeded, others are on board, and improvements and progress is being shown. Another thing that could be done is to communicate and ask questions. In order to better ourselves as educators and better our school community we have to be communicating and asking questions to figure out what the problem is, what needs to be done, and what steps we can do to get there.
To me, “one more round” means not giving up when something is difficult and choosing to persevere even when you feel tired or discouraged. It means continuing to try, grow, and support others even when challenges arise. I can leave my school and those around me better by encouraging others, offering support, and consistently showing up for my colleagues and students. Small actions like helping a coworker, sharing ideas, or simply being positive and supportive can make a meaningful difference in the school community.
"One more round" to me means to never give up! At some point in our lives we will all face adversity. How we handle and respond to that adversity is what will make us or break us. I think as educators it is important for us be there for our students when they do face adversity. Supporting them and cheering them on is so important. They need to know that they have someone in their corner wanting them to be successful!
To me…. Going one more round means not giving up when things get tough. It means doing some self talk to help yourself power through and build confidence to work through obstacles that make you feel like you want to throw in the towel. Each time you power through a tough situation that confidence will build and carry you through the next time you need to convince yourself to keep going and not give up.
Going one more round means to keep persevering. Let's be honest, sometimes teaching leads to burn out and exhaustion. I really like the saying "Going one more round" it's easy to memorize and I plan on using it on those really hard days. I will also use it on the really good days too, because our students deserve our best and we need to always go that extra mile or one more round for them.
Going on more round as a SPED behavior teacher means finding the best techniques for each individual student to be able to recognize, identify, and modify their behavior. For some students that is me just holding up a stop sign for them to see as a visual that they need to stop and pause. Other students need time to sit and color or draw. I have another student who needs to take a walk. One more round means taking the time to find what works for each one of my kids!
To me, ‘one more round’ means not giving up when things get hard and choosing to keep showing up for my students. It means giving a little extra, even on the tough days. In my classroom, I try to build strong relationships and ensure each student feels cared for and supported. I also reflect on my teaching so I can keep getting better and help my students succeed. Outside my classroom, I want to be a helpful and positive team member. I try to support my coworkers and contribute to a positive school environment.
“One more round” to me means refusing to stop when things get difficult, whether that’s in the classroom or as my role as a coach. It’s about pushing past the point where most people would quit. As a teacher and a coach, I see it as helping students and athletes build resilience: showing up again after failure, giving effort when they’re tired, and choosing growth over comfort.
In my history courses, it might look like a student revising an essay instead of settling for a low grade, or continuing to engage in a tough discussion even when it challenges their beliefs. On the football field, it’s finishing the last rep, running the extra sprint, or bouncing back after a bad play. In both settings, it’s about developing mental toughness and a mindset that carries beyond school.
To leave my school and those around me better than I found them, I focus on relationships first. But, I also try to hold them to high standards, because believing in them means expecting more from them. I can also improve by being more intentional by checking in with students who are struggling, and celebrating small wins.
"One more round" is about perseverance and being there for students and staff members. As an elementary music teacher, it means being a constant support and positive influence, even when I'm tired and overwhelmed. I do this by finding new ways to teach, giving moral support to students, or lending a helping hand to staff and school. By sharing my passions and staying persistent, I hope to inspire students to keep moving forward. That's why I sign my contract every year - one more round. As a musician - the saying 'just one more time' is our mantra. We are always striving to do better and to give our best even on the hardest days.
The idea of "One more round" would mean to teach my students that things won't always go our way, but we give it another shot regardless of the outcome. I can live this out, because not every lesson will go my way, or class period even, but I can still show up the next period or the next day to try again or work to do better.
I think this is a great thing for me to work on teaching the students in my school as many of them come from households that don't always have that mindset, so being a positive example of perseverance in their lives and working to instill "one more round" can help to impact their lives.
The Great Ones Go One More Round: What does “one more round” mean to you? What do you do (or could you do) to leave your school and those around you better than you found it/them?
To me, “one more round” means not giving up when something is difficult, whether that is with schoolwork, relationships, or personal goals. It’s about showing up again and again, and doing a little better each time.
To leave my school and the people around me better than I found them, I could make small but consistent and meaningful choices, such as helping students or coworkers who are struggling, being respectful and encouraging, including others, and taking responsibility for my actions. I want to be able to make a difference, even in small ways, each and every day.
One More Round to me means, regardless of the outcome learning from it and choosing to get better each time. Sometimes things aren't going to go in our favor, but choosing to use that as a learning opportunity and get better because of it is what it means to me. I think modeling that behavior for our students and those arounds us is going to help show them, that we don't have to be perfect in all that we do; but showing up and putting our best effort forth is what we can do.
The Great Ones Go One More Round: “one more round” to me means that I need to be my own change. If I want to be an educator who leaves a legacy, I need to step up and take pride in who I am and what I teach. I need to embrace those changes, make those sacrifices, and model the attitude I expect from my students. If I want to create change, I must be that example for both my students and my peers.
Even in my 2nd grade classroom, I make sure a positive attitude is what greets students in the morning and what they leave with at the end of the day. I appreciate the emphasis on humility and putting your team first—values that apply at any age. In my classroom, we celebrate both success and failure. If a student is willing to share a thought, answer, or idea, we celebrate that effort. It takes practice, but students are more willing to go ‘one more round’ when they are not afraid to try.
At the end of the day, everyone wants to feel pride in what they have done—students and teachers alike.
Going one more round to me is not giving up on myself, or the others around me. It means showing up every day, even on the hardest days. I need to show up every day -- for myself, for my family, for my coworkers, and for my students. As a teacher, my students need to see that I will never give up on them. We may have differences and we may not see eye to eye on everything, but they need to see that I will keep showing up for them. My students need to see and feel that I am here for them. That means I need to show up, give them a genuine smile, and show them that I truly care about them.
I want to show my students and my colleagues that I am there for them. This could mean giving up some of my time to help out. It could mean just giving them an ear so feel heard. It doesn't always have to a big thing to make a difference.
One more round to me means, when I'm having a bad day because of a troubling student or parent issue, I need to take a moment and reflect on the situation. Don't give up or give in to the problem. Taking a moment to talk with a colleague/friend are essential. I need to think about and assess the situation/problem and make a plan as to how I am going to deal with it. This is how I am going "go one more round." Because actions speak louder than words, I will model to students good behavior decisions on how to deal with conflict and show them that I am here for them.
