I love this video. This is a video that should be trending to schools not only to teachers, to districts, members of the school board and parents. It is easy to blame the teachers since they are the ones "teaching".the teaching and learning experience is shared by both teacher and student.
Teachers carry many and most of the responsibility in the classroom. They must remember this is not just a class and should be treated as a environment for learning and enjoyment. The reason that most of the responsibility remain in the teachers hand is when they signed up to be a teacher, which means to relate knowledge and educate children. Yes it is a tiring job but that what you sign up for and know many hardships come with teaching youth important life attributes. Once the foot is in the door and teaching begins, teachers should get to know their students also dont hesitate to learn from your students. They must push kids in the right direction, which is needed because some students never been pushed, so teachers are also mentors as well. One key idea is teach kids as if that is your child, in an idea they are your child.
Put interesting topics into your learning, give them goals weather that be daily, weekly, monthly or the entire school year. Give real life examples that is relevant to them like news, current topics, history and culture. Teachers and parents must have some type of relationship for understanding and better development for the child, parents should be a resource.
I agree with you 100% that when you become a teacher you know How hard it is to teacher you cant just go into this profession , and just expect just because you will get paid and you can then go home. It takes dedication. Great Post!
