At the Teacher's Desk is a great video and these two men show us what teaching is really about! Mr. William Chamberlain and Mr. Joe McClung really try to do their best to inspire their students to be the best possible students that they can be. This is a great source that we as future educators can can back to at anytime in the future.
Mr. McClung's Volume-4 post was very inspiring and noteworthy. It sounded as id he was kind of boasting about himself but then I thought that doing what he did, it would be hard not to! He shows that it is not hard or unusual for some teachers to lose their spark for teaching and sometimes get in sort of a rut. We have to find new ways of challenging ourselves to keep us on edge and giving our students the best we have every day. If we expect our students to do the best they can, we should also give them the best possible effort that we can!
I read the post that he talks about always trying to be in good standard with the people above you! I know that this may sound like brown-nosing but once you think about it, it is actually very smart. But once again he goes back to the kids and expresses that the kids are always first priority and that pleasing your superiors is important but not if it gets in the way of the kids.
