A Teacher's Vitamins is a blog that has been conceived because of my multiple roles as a Food & Nutrition Teacher and a Reading Specialist. It focuses and discusses the multiple roles of teachers which can be compared to the multi-functions of multi-vitamins. Multiple deficiencies are always evident. As teachers we act like vitamins to fix the cold that is ever so common!
The video presentation of Goofy -Teachers are people demonstrates the committed role of teachers. A highlight for me is how well the teacher knew is students and his keenness to identify challenging situation and strategically take action (or the right vitamin) to address students' needs. One notable challenge for us as reading specialists will be to remind teachers of their role as one of commitment that entails keenness and with-it-ness to identify students who are struggling with reading since at the secondary level they can be very elusive at times.
Hi Vicky, This video is very entertaining. It makes one relect on their profession as a teacher as we ask ourselves the question "Does that character represent me?" The answer will be a perfound "yes". Teachers are doctors, lawyers, nurses, and every professional to their students. We deal with aggressive parents who are never satisfied and students who believe they can do what they want and get away with it. But, little do they know teachers are seasoned to all their antics and can always anticipate their actions. Teaching is really a noble profession that everyone should be proud to be a part of.
