Access and watch the video, "Every Kid Needs A Champion."
Every Kid Needs A Champion
We have spent a great deal of time talking about the importance of student-teacher relationships in previous courses.
As we think about teacher motivation, Rita Pierson continues that focus with an emphasis on teachers who are passionate about what they do.
She talks about teachers who are "born to make a difference." All of us know teachers who are highly motivated; we all know teachers who are not.
As you view this short video, how can you deduce that this lady believes in what she is doing?
Would you characterize her as being highly-motivated, even after 40 years as a classroom teacher?
When would it be appropriate to use this video with your staff?
