When educators are given the opportunity to speak candidly, straight from their heart and soul about their profession, what might they have to say? Twenty-three graduate students enrolled in a Leadership in Education class were given the chance to do exactly that via an on-line discussion board forum assignment. This article reports the results of a descriptive study that was developed to investigate what current educators would identify as their one Teacher Truth. A Teacher Truth was defined as any feeling, belief, or value they have developed from their training and experiences about teaching, about teachers, to teachers, or for teachers.
