Synopsis:
It's the last post in this amazing journey and I want to wrap it up by dedicating this space on focusing not on what to teach, but on the individual that is doing the teaching. In the end, we might post amazing ideas, methods, teaching styles and so on, but if the teacher her/himself does not embody someone who emphasizes love for their material, dedication towards their students, patience towards student success and in-depth cultural understanding, then a day in this type of classroom, under the guidance of a monotonous, uninspiring individual is as excruciating as sitting outside the desert waiting under the hot sun. Let's dedicate this entry to the amazing teachers that give it all for their students.
HERE IS TO THE HUMOR, THE PATIENCE AND THE OVERALL JOY THESE TEACHERS DECIDED TO PORTRAY ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS TO THEIR STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY AROUND THEM, REGARDLESS OF OBSTACLES, CHALLENGES OR HARDSHIPS. THESE ARE THE THPE OF TEACHERS WE ALL SHOULD STRIVE TO EMBODY.
TO ALL HARD-WORKING, DEDICATED, PATIENT TEACHERS: YOU ARE OUR INSPIRATION!
LOL, Fiorela, this is amazing. I laughed at almost all of these. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep doing what you're doing!
ReplyDeleteHi Fiorela, I love that you decided to dedicate this post to the usually under-appreciated teachers! As you said a teacher loving the material is so important and I truly believe a teacher can make or break a student's love for math! Great end post and pictures! -Marlee
