There is SO much out there about teaching and things meant to inspire teachers. As we approach the first day of school, one can imagine how much I reach for these inspirational things. I reach with a hope that I can grasp just one more technique, suppress just a few more fears. In the middle of trying to re-educate myself about different novels and concepts, I try to claw myself out of the pit of "things to do" that keeps threatening to bury me. Thus, I stumble upon this video. If you are an educator needing some inspiration, or a parent who has had some bad experiences with teachers, or anyone in between I encourage you to watch this video. This woman reminds us that forming connections is key, and that students (even the lowest scoring) are more intelligent than they are often given credit for being.
