"Welcome Back, Kotter" Mr. Kotter and Vinny Barbarino Meet After Class

# data[].attributes.body
a) I selected the clip from Welcome Back Kotter because I watched Welcome Back Kotter as a kid with my dad, and this show partly inspired me to be a teacher. The show was very funny as well, and Mr. Kotter is a good example of what a teacher should be.

b) In this specific clip, Mr. Kotter stays after class with the student Vinny Barbarino so he could help him with his history term paper. Teachers often stay after class with students in case the students need help. Mr. Kotter also shows some cultural awareness, noting that people speak the same language differently across the world ("As opposed to here in Brooklyn, where we speak English perfectly")

c) Mr. Kotter teaches a class a kids with issues learning (almost like a special needs class). What's important is he was one of these kids (the self-labeled the Sweathogs) when he was in school. He uses his past experiences as a "sweathog" to bond with the kids so they feel welcome in his classroom. Many teachers I've had bonded with the students, like my Latin teacher talked with the students before and after class about nearly anything so he could have a closer relationship with the students. A teacher should try to have a close bond with their students, that way the students will have an easier time learning in the class, as they feel more welcome.

a. Why did you select the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

For this Teacher Media Project, I selected a Tiktok that is actually from last school year. I've seen her a few times on Tiktok over the year. This is Ms. Cadime who made Tiktoks as she taught her 1st graders on zoom, through complete remote learning. Every video she made with her students she seems like an amazing teacher who always puts her students first and always has a smile even with the tough time of Covid. When I think of a great teacher, I think of all the attributes in which Ms. Cadime shows in her videos. Covid was hard for both students and teachers and I feel like she did a great job with making the best out of everything.

b. How does the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc. compare with what you currently know about
teachers/teaching?

This Tiktok compares with what I currently know about teachers/teaching because when I think of elementary school teacher specifically, Ms. Cadime is the type of teacher I think of. One that is positive and is excited for her students to learn as much as the students are excited to learn from her.

c. How does your developing teacher identity compare to the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

My developing teacher identity compares to this Tiktok by that I feel like she is the type of teacher I want to be and develop into. You can tell she really loves her job and that is the type of teacher every student should have in school. You can also tell she is kind hearted and proud to be these kid's teacher, and I want to be that type of teacher when the time comes.

a. Why did you select the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

For this project, I selected a Tiktok that had come up on my "For You" page a couple of weeks ago.  This is Ms. Clarke, a middle school art teacher.  She found this audio, which is derived from a Ted Talk given by Rita Pierson, titled "Every Kid Deserves a Champion."  In this Tiktok, as Pierson is describing the role of a true teacher, Ms. Clarke adds corresponding videos that allow the viewer to follow her around the classroom throughout the day, to show the work of a teacher.  I chose this video because I believe that Ms. Clarke embodies and exemplifies the true meaning of being a "teacher," by showing everything teachers go through behind the scenes that other people don't see.

b. How does the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc. compare with what you currently know about

teachers/teaching?

This Tiktok compares with what I currently know about teachers and teaching, because I have had the pleasure of interning in a large amount of classrooms already throughout my college experience, as well as my high school experience.  Unlike people who do not work in the field of education, I have been able to firsthand experience the silent blood, sweat, and tears that true teachers put into their work.  I have worked with teachers who give their ALL to the students, who stay behind late after school forming valuable lesson plans, cleaning up, basically resembling Ms. Clarke, but I have seen negligent teachers as well.  Teachers who don't put in that much work, and who come in at the latest time possible and leave at the earliest time possible.

c. How does your developing teacher identity compare to the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

My developing teacher identity compares to this Tiktok in many ways.  First, Ms. Clarke is exactly the teacher I have always dreamed of being.  I stated in my Teacher Identity Project that I didn't really know exactly what my style of teaching is, or how I envision my classroom to be set up.  Though I still do not know, I do know this: I want to embody Ms. Clarke.  I want to embody the amount of effort she puts into her students, from coming up with lesson plans to literally disinfecting each and every single marker at a time, to make sure her students stay safe and healthy, amidst the pandemic.  You can tell that Ms. Clarke makes sure that her classroom is inclusive.  You can tell that her heart is pure.  You can tell that no matter the demographic of her class, no matter the level of class her students are in, Ms. Clarke treats them all fairly and all with respect.  You can tell Ms. Clarke is the kind of teacher that students will remember as they grow older, that they will refer back to when someone asks them who was one of their favorite teachers growing up.
People always say that teachers have the easiest job ever. They say "They work 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, and have weekends and summers off." Yes, they could. And some do. But the best teachers don't. The best teachers stay late to make sure the classroom looks perfect for the next day. The best teachers, from not being able to get everything done after school from focusing on what they're going to do the next day, bring their work home to grade at their dinner table. The best teachers form a relationship with each and every single one of their students, all while making sure they teach the curriculum. The best teachers work day in and day out to provide the best experience for their students, even on the weekends coming up with elaborate lesson plans. As Pierson says in the Tiktok audio, "Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and INSISTS that they become the best that they can possibly be. Is this job tough? You betcha. Oh God, you betcha. But it is NOT impossible. We can do this. We're educators. We're born to make a difference." Ms. Clarke IS the champion for her students. The viewer can infer that the way Ms. Clarke keeps her classroom, how much time and energy she puts into it, is EXACTLY how she is for her students. You can tell she is someone who doesn't give up on them and comes into class being the best she can possibly be, no matter what is going on in her outside life. It's not about the money. The money usually is poor compared to other jobs. But I know it is one of the most REWARDING jobs, teaching the future leaders and helping them transform into who they're going to be. That is Ms. Clarke, and that is EXACTLY how I want to be, too.

a. Why did you select the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

I selected this clip of Ms. Honey from the movie Matilda because this was actually the movie that inspired me to become a teacher. Ms. Honey is without a doubt, the epitome of a good teacher. Throughout elementary, middle, and high school I would always compare my teachers to Ms. Honey from her personality to her teaching. Although I did run into a couple of Ms. Trunchbulls (The mean and grouchy principal in the movie.) the teachers who were like Ms. Honey kept me going!

b. How does the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc. compare with what you currently know about
teachers/teaching?

This clip compares to what I currently know about teachers and teaching in many ways! Teachers should always make their students feel comfortable and in the clip, Ms. Honey makes sure her new student Matilda feels included even though she started school a little late. She even made sure the other students made Matilda feel welcomed because they knew how scary their first day of school was too. While teachers are teaching, it is important that they acknowledge the fact that some students wouldn't know the answer to certain things. Ms. Honey lets Matilda know that it is okay to not know. Students should have constant support and be taught with care, it is important to have confidence in them so that they have confidence within themselves. When Ms. Honey asks the class who would like to go over the times tables all of the students raised their hands without any hesitation. This means that Ms. Honey treats her students with care as they are not afraid to participate and are eager to learn. Last but not least, teachers should get to know a student, this helps in many ways. This can help build trust, a bond, finding the best way to teach your students, know when they are behaving strangely, etc.. After finding out Matilda is strangely good at multiplying big numbers at her age, Ms. Honey then tries to get to know her by asking her if she likes to read and what her favorite book was. She then realized she had a lot more in common with Matilda than she thought.

My developing teacher identity compares to the clip because Ms. Honey the type of teacher I aspire to be. I often think about how kind patient she is is no matter what. All of her students admire her and are always prepared to learn. I believe I will achieve my goal of being like Ms. Honey! I want to have all of my students engaged and eager to learn. I want them to know that they can always come to me whenever they need help whether its academically or not. Making sure I build trust and a bond with my students is very important to me. Ms. Honey showed me why it is important to have these qualities as a teacher and how it can affect your students.
I whole heartedly believe that Ms. Honey would exceed the FSEHD Dispositions.

Why did you select the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

I selected the film School of Rock because I personally believe the film accurately depicts how a teacher should treat their students. Throughout the clips shown, Mr. S puts a lot of care into his job but also into his students. In the first clip, Lawrence considered himself to be a loser and did not believe he deserved to be in the band; however, Mr. S cheers him up and gives him the confidence to believe he does deserve to be there. Furthermore, when it came to having to perform in front of a crowd, Tomika believed people would make fun of her weight; however, Mr. S uses his ability to connect with his students to show Tomika that there is nothing to worry about as there are other artists out there just like her and people “worship them” when they are on stage. He goes on to further talk about his weight and how he isn’t perfect either. It’s Mr. S’s ability to give his students the confidence to want to be a part of the band and his ability to really connect to his students and form that sense of community that drew me to this movie. The film is truly a great one to watch because of its comedic aspects, but it also has some great lessons within it. Dewey Finn or “Mr. S” is a failing rockstar who was on the verge of being kicked out of his apartment by his friends. He gets lucky and takes a call on behalf of his friend. Dewey decides to take the substitute teaching job meant for his friend as a way to make some money. At first, he does not care about teaching the kids and just lets them goof off; however, after learning they take music class at school, he finds a passion to teach the students about rock and even enter them into the “Battle of the Bands”. While not a real teacher, Dewey Finn grows close to the students through music and forms real connections with them. This is why I personally believe Dewey Finn is a perfect example of a great teacher.

How does the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc. compare with what you currently know about

teachers/teaching?

This film compares to what I currently know about teaching because I understand how inspirational and dedicated a teacher can be to a student. Throughout the film, there are multiple instances where Mr. S is helping a student who is feeling down about themselves or with an issue that is going on in their life. Teachers should be there to help when students have a problem going on. By building a community within the classroom and being able to know one's students better, one can recognize when a student is struggling. Throughout the film, Mr. S saw how Zach was having a difficult time with music at home with his parents, so he created an exercise where his students could talk about the things that have made them mad. In the final act of the movie, Mr. S chooses to use Zach’s song instead of his own in order to help Zach prove to his parents that music is his passion. Overall, teachers should be there for their students when they need help. Additionally, teachers should be dedicated to their job and love going to school every day. Mr. S knew how to make the classroom fun while also being able to teach the students about music. This is the type of teacher I want to become as I develop my teacher identity.

How does your developing teacher identity compare to the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

Think especially in terms of the FSEHD Dispositions and our course readings. (Access all of the FSEHD Dispositions through

My developing teacher identity compares to this film because I feel as though it is very similar to Mr. S’s. As a teacher, I want to be someone a student can turn to in a time of need. However, I also want to be able to know when a student is upset or needs help understanding something without them explicitly telling me. To do that I have to grow a sense of community, much like Mr. S did, within my classroom. I have to be able to create fun but engaging activities where my students can work together and create a bond between me and my students. I personally believe communication is one of the biggest aspects of teaching. It is important that a teacher is able to get his points across to their students accurately, however, it is also about how they go about doing so. A teacher has to keep their class engaged and make sure the students leave that class at the end of the day saying they learned something. In the terms of FSHD, I believe Mr. S fits all the qualities of someone who would be able to pass the test and someone who is a true example of a great teacher. Countless times throughout the film, we saw Mr. S build a sense of community by growing closer with his students through music. He was there for his students to help them through difficult situations in times of need. He made his class fun and engaging by getting the students to want to learn more about rock music. Mr. S contains all the qualities of a teacher who cares about his students and is dedicated to his work, so this is who I want to become as I continue to develop my teacher identity.

a. I selected this image to show how school librarians are thought of. Often times, a librarian is thought of as an old lady who is grumpy and doesn't want to talk to you.  In this picture the lady looks happy, but I feel like a lot of people would say librarians hate noise, are old, wear glasses, and are rude.  I feel like this often time isn't even the case, and it is just a stereotype that they get.  Similarly, I feel like english teachers have a stereotype as well for how they dress, walk around, and talk.

b. I know that this image is inaccurate to what I know about teachers.  I say that because in middle school my librarian was young, always happy, and willing to help.  In addition, I didn't even have one in my high school.  Teachers would just work there when they had an off period.  They were always willing to help a student find a good read, as well as hold conversations with them, and never told anyone they had to lower their voices.  Also, I've had a small handful of english teachers who were male, which doesn't fit the stereotype.

c. I feel like my teacher identity compares to this picture in a few ways. One way is that I won't walk a 'certain way' just because I'm a teacher. My kids will know to not judge any teacher based on how they might look. I say that because my elementary school librarian would look angry a lot, but I would always talk to her, and I learned she's actually a very nice and understanding person. I will make sure my kids don't think that teaching is 'just for girls'. Anyone who wants to be a teacher should not be put down just because of their gender. These lessons will also be useful outside of a school setting. The lesson of never judging a book by its cover. You never know why someone might have a mean or upset look on their face. You will also never know the reason why some people dress the way they dress, or act the way they act. I feel like this picture of an old lady in a library was able to get my point across well, being that the only thing I searched was 'school librarian'.

Why did you select the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

I chose this video as it captures what I want to be as a teacher. This video shows a young student who is seen as troubled by teachers and peers because of his tapping problem. He lacked the ability to sit still and he would constantly tap, which led to other students telling him to stop and even a visit to the principles office. All it took, though, is for one teacher to pull him aside. That one teacher gave the young student drumsticks and woke the inner drummer. That kid would end up as a drummer, getting a full ride to college, and even touring the world. I chose this video as I want to be that teacher who influences students' lives to that extent.

How does the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc. compare with what you currently know about teachers/teaching?

This video compares to what I currently know about teaching because I know that teachers can be very influential. A good teacher only needs one moment to make a difference in a students' life. I know that teachers at least make the effort to influence the lives and futures of students in the most positive way possible. From personal experiences, I've had teachers try to help me. Whether it was to help me in certain career paths or even help me with personal problems. Although I may not have taken all the advice that was given to me, it was nice to hear those words come from an adult and it was nice to know someone showed genuine concern for me.

How does your developing teacher identity compare to the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.? Think especially in terms of the FSEHD Dispositions and our course readings.

My developing teacher identity compares to this video as it shows what I do and don't want to be. This video shows the type of teacher I want to avoid, which is sending a child to the principles office for an innocent act of just not being able to sit still. On the other hand, it shows what I do want to be, which is an influence. I want to be able to make an impact on every student's life. I want to have a relationship with my students where we have respect for each other. I want to be able to have conversations with my students about real-world things because I believe they need to be exposed to it by someone they trust and respect. Overall, I want to be able to see my students in the future and be proud. I want to see the progress they've made whether it be 1 year or 10 years. I want to know that they're doing good and what I did really made a difference.

Inspirational Video- Be a Mr. Jensen- MUST WATCH!!

1. I selected this clip because to me it shows what today's era of teachers are like and gives me a small vision of what the next generation of teachers will be like (which is us). Here we see a science teacher doing a small skit about how he sees his students' reactions to the activities he does in the classroom. It's a small funny skit that shows what he does in his free time and for all we know, this is his way of trying to connect with his students. I personally like to see teachers, like this Irish guy, and many others make small skits that show what they deal with and experience every day as a teacher that makes it enjoyable for all parties that watch it. These small skits not only give me a small vision into what the teachers deal with but also gives me insight into how I will potentially deal with it when I, and others, step up to the plate. I was amazed to find so many teachers making small clips of their school and experiences because I always had teachers that didn't use social media, there are so many clips on Tiktok that show how other teachers teach in their class, how they feel during a lesson, or what they will do for their students. If I was be able to show more than one clip, I would show all the clips I found on Tiktok but I'm only allowed one (I believe).
2. What this clip and other TikTok clips show compared to what I know about teachers is that there are teachers out there that use everyday social media like their students and use that as a way to connect with their students. To me, it shows that the teacher is no different from the students and that the teacher wants to show to the rest of the world their teaching experiences and how they handle them. These kinds of teachers are what I want to be in some way, shape, or form. These teachers are the beginning dominio peace to a new way of connecting with students in class and around the world in my opinion.
3. This video compares to a similar way of what kind of teacher I want to be. I want to be a teacher that does teach the criteria effectively and be able to take the time to make sure that the students understand what I'm teaching. But also to go the extra mile to connect with the students and make them feel like I am someone they can rely on when they need support or assistance with anything. I don't want to develop into a teacher that just teaches and doesn't try in any shape or form to involve themselves with their class.

I selected this video because Mr. Feeny embodies some of the qualities that I hope to possess when I become a teacher myself. In this video, it shows clips of him giving his best advice from all throughout Boy Meets World. In the show, Mr. Feeny somehow follows the main character, Cory, and his friends throughout most of their academic career(s). Although this is for the most part very unrealistic, I think that there is some value that lies within this idea. The fact that Mr. Feeny is with Cory through just about every year of schooling personifies the concept of leaving a lasting impression on your students. That is exactly what I want to do. I want to teach lessons that stretch beyond the classroom, just as he does. With that said, I want my students to remember me… not just for the teacher I was but also for the person I am. I want to be able to connect to my students on a deeper, more personal level and to provide them with a sense of belonging. If they have a problem, I want them to be able to come to me for advice if they wish to do so. In this video, you can see Cory and his friends doing just that with Mr. Feeny. Although I do intend on working with younger children, I do hope to still achieve this all. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter how young or old you are. Kids and people in general still need support.

In my past experiences, teachers did not always perform in this way. Some really see it as a job and only that. They go to teach the material, and get paid. That is not my goal. Again, I want to leave a mark… and not just any mark, but a positive one. This particular video clip and the type of teacher that Mr. Feeny is, inspires me to do just that. I know that it is not always going to be easy; it will usually be very difficult. Despite this, I will do my best to make my students feel welcome and to unlearn any potential biases that I may have, just as we have learned in class. I will aim to make my classroom feel like a home away from home for the kids and to make them feel safe so that they can be ready/prepared to perform at their best.

With all of this said, this video relates to my developing teacher identity is many ways. It helps to demonstrate some of the qualities I hope to have as a teacher. Mr. Feeny acts as an inspiration for my teaching style, however I will make sure to make it my own. In addition to his very meaningful lessons that apply even outside the classroom, I want to be a little more personable than he was. Throughout the show, Mr. Feeny is depicted as a more strict kind of teacher. It is my intention that I am more fun-loving and nurturing than this. I want my students and I to be able to have fun, while also being able to have those more serious talks sometimes. Overall, Mr. Feeny has provided me with a foundational idea of the kind of teacher that I want to be.

a. Why did you select the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

I selected this clip because it captures teachers in a positive light. This commercial is a prime example of how I hope teachers will be remembered and also for what many teachers are known for. Most people do not know all the things teachers actually do and this clip shows people exactly that. The clip shows inside the life of a teacher and all the many different things they do for students. It shows how much teachers care and how much they love their students. It shows characteristics of teachers as well. As a future educator, this is an example of a teacher I hope to become. Most teachers are this way and they do not receive enough credit. So overall, I selected this clip because of the positive way it shows teachers and how it demonstrates the many things that go on inside and outside of the classroom with teachers and feelings. I love this clip because it shows the true dedication and heart of a teacher.

b. How does the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc. compare with what you currently know about

teachers/teaching?

After viewing the clip it compares to what I currently know about teachers and teaching in tons of ways. When I think of a teacher, this video completely captured the vision I have in my head for teachers. The clip says all the things about what being a teacher means. Being a teacher means to cheer up your students, to cheer on your students, to open minds, to ignite their spark, to mend hearts, to share their joy, and to lend an ear. The clip also says how being a teacher is not easy, (also the pay is not great for the work they do) which I don't think many people in society really fully understand. Although teaching is not easy, educators make the conscious decision everyday to show up and that is very telling.  I know not all teachers are like this, but most are! and it should not go unrecognized. Growing up I only have had good experiences with teachers which I know is not the case for everyone so I am very fortunate for that. My son has had great teachers and I see how much they truly care for him and how much they invest in their classroom and students. I also have several friends and family who are teachers, and the teacher described in this video, all the things they do, is what I see in the people I know as teachers and that is who I inspire to be as a future teacher myself. I believe all the things said in the clip about what a teacher does is so important in teaching and by being that example and doing the things listed in the video you will be a successful teacher.

c. How does your developing teacher identity compare to the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

Think especially in terms of the FSEHD Dispositions and our course readings. (Access all of the FSEHD Dispositions through

the link below)

This clip/ commercial is comparable to my developing teacher identity because it is the type of teacher I hope to be one day. As a teacher I aspire to do all those things in the clip they are saying teachers do. I already do have those qualities about myself but there is still so much to learn and I cannot wait to be able to set an positive example for children.  At the end of the clip the speaker says, "After all teachers do more than just teach our children, they inspire them."
This is so on point for me as a future educator because I hope one day to teach children of course, but I also want to do so much more than that for them. I want to inspire them. The teachers that are described in this clip I believe pass all the aspects of the FSEHD Disposition assessment. They truly care about their students and want whats best for them and are dedicated and passionate about what they do. By doing all the things described a teacher does in the clip it will make a student feel safe, loved and trust, which will help student's in a positive way learning and in the classroom. I want to be a positive teacher like the one in this clip and appreciate this positive clip on teachers overall.

a. Why did you select the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

I selected Mr. Keating's perspective lecture from Dead Poets Society (1989) because Mr. Keating is everything I have always wanted to be. He isn't just a teacher, he's also a friend, mentor, and confidant for these boys. He inspires them to be their own people with free thought, which is something their school, Welton Academy, discourages. This scene in particular is his lesson on perspective and its effect on perception.

b. How does the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc. compare with what you currently know about
teachers/teaching?

Based on my own experiences, teachers like this do exist and can thrive in their careers. Sophomore year of high school I had a teacher who, during our poetry unit, showed us Dead Poets Society. Afterwards she invited us to stand on our desks just like in this scene. Some people in our class chose not to participate and she respected that, but my friends and I took that opportunity and I believe it helped us learn a very important lesson. This style of teaching, the kind that encourages free thought, isn't super common but I have been lucky enough to see it firsthand.

At the moment, I don't think I could come anywhere close to Mr. Keating's level. I think I need to come out of my shell more and form some more confidence before I can be like that, but I feel like I'm already very open minded and culturally conscious.

Dead Poets society - Perspective Lecture

I selected this video because these are statements all teachers will hear during their career. In high school and middle school my teachers would tell me how often they heard statements like the ones in the video and I’ve already heard them when I mention my career goals. On TikTok a lot of teachers call out the stigma facing them, however in real life when you mention being a teacher or wanting to be a teacher the first thing you hear is “oh how are you gonna make money” or “I hope you do it for the input not the output”. I don’t like how society views teachers as people to give until there’s nothing left to give because then we have no teachers. When you expect someone to work with kids and teenagers with little pay and no funding you’re expecting them to give their lives and paychecks to help these students and that’s not okay. The media I chose relates to my teacher identity because I want to help break the stigma, I don’t want people to be okay with how little teachers get paid or how they teachers let teaching consume their lives. Not only does the media relate to my identity but so does the creator. I chose a kindergarten teacher on TikTok who shows people she’s a real person. Shes honestly really inspirational and that’s what I want to be.

1. Why did you select the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

This project is supposed to show what kind of teacher id like to identify as. Personally, this small little clip means a lot more than it actually shows. Ive had first hand experiences with good and bad teachers throughout my career of education; therefore, those experiences shaped how I want to represent myself as a teacher. This clip shows how this teacher was able to create such a fun environment with his class. By the looks of this, is clearly having a fun time with his job, and the kids are sure having a fun time too. I would say this teacher is a “good teacher”, which is one of the reasons I chose this, because I want to be looked at as a teacher that the kids would be looking forward to to go to. Also the use of sports is important to me. In my career, I still want to be associated with sports somehow, this is an example of how that is possible.

b. How does the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc. compare with what you currently know about

teachers/teaching?

With my knowledge of teacher, this is an example of a teacher who likes to create personal relations with his students. Ive learned that engagement is key, and how you want to kids to be exited and ready to learn once they get into class. Even though he is dunking the ball over the kid, which is impressive, he could use this as an incentive, which will ultimately push the kids harder to achieve more goals the teacher lays out for them. Also, comfortability. The idea of comfortability goes along with managing relationships as well, because of how he is connecting with his students through fun activities like sports, and becoming more likable by the students. As a teacher, it is ideal to be likable and approachable.

c. How does your developing teacher identity compare to the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

When I think about developing teacher Identity, I think about what’s going on in todays world. It is very important nowadays what is going on (more specifically) in the students’ lives. To know where your students are from, what’s going on in their lives, if there’s any situations at home, who the students like in the classes etc, are all important. As a teacher, you HAVE to. Know these things. Its morally right and respectful to have this knowledge about your students, there is a lot on the line as a teacher when it comes to these sensitive topics , and all of this is essential to know. In the clip, the teacher dunks the basketball over the student. This has a deeper meaning because sports are very important nowadays. Sports engage everyone, no matter the race, gender, etc. The use of sports is universal. Sports, can be used as a getaway for people. Something like the teacher is doing in this clip can make someones day, or even week. This is important for developing personal relationships with your students, while creating more comfortably, making it easier for a students to talk to you openly.

a. Why did you select the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

To begin with, I selected this video because it shows how the teachers, faculty, and staff genuinely care about the students. The teachers at Saint Patrick’s help students when needed. I was once a student and because of these teachers, I wanted to become one of them. In addition, the majority of the students say they can call their class a “family”. I believe that the teachers here really know what it is like to be a teacher. From experience, they always wanted the best for each and every student even if they did not teach them. In this school, all the teachers knew every student and how far they had come from.

b. How does the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc. compare with what you currently know about

teachers/teaching?

This video compares what I already know about teachers is that teachers should always be respectful and always maintain “teacher mode” at school at all times. When they go home that is a different story. First teachers should love their job because it reflects on how they teach and treat their students. Secondly, teachers should be patient with their students because some students learn quicker than others, and everyone is capable of learning. Some just take more time than others. Overall, teachers should understand their students. As well as keeping their cool at all times. Once again, being respectful and have some fun. You do not want to have a boring class. For example, some people dislike Math or English. It is good to switch it up and make it so that the students would want to participate and engage in class. You do not want students to fall asleep in your class as well.

c. How does your developing teacher identity compare to the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

Think especially in terms of the FSEHD Dispositions and our course readings. (Access all of the FSEHD Dispositions through

the link below)

My developing teacher identity compares to this video because it truly shows what a teacher should be. Does not matter if you are religious, have a different, background. All of that does not matter. No one should be treated differently because of it. Some teachers at Saint Patrick Academy are not Catholic. Although that is where one should be respectful of other religions or backgrounds of any sort. . Therefore, being a teacher you have to treat all students the same. There are teachers who play favorites. It could make others feel left out. We should all be equal. We are all going to school for the same thing, to learn. In terms of FSEHD, teachers should push their students to be successful and never give up on them. When I do become a teacher, I will push my students to become the best version of themselves. They should want to grow and will grow to achieve their goals. I want students to feel comfortable and know that we as teachers are here to help them with what we are able to help them with.

The original video is on google classroom, it is the one I actually wanted to put because it is more updated

1. Why did you select the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc.?

I selected the song, Try Everything by Shakira for many reasons. This song will not only lift your mood, but will inspire you to be the best version of yourself. To truly “try everything” if it’s something meaningful to you. As well as to believe in yourself and to expand your horizons. This song is nothing short of a joy ride.

I do believe that if this song is describing teachers then it is describing them in a positive nature. This form of media is showing the vibrant and accepting side to teachers. The caring, nurturing, and motivating side that most teachers have. This song can be one-sided as well. Like I mentioned before, this song shows the positive side to teachers, but teachers can have negative aspects as well. I chose this song because I personally like to believe that all teachers have this positive energy when around their students. I prefer to look at the more positive side to most situations so this song covers the more joyful side to the world of teaching.

2. How does the image, song, video, TV/Movie clip, news clip, meme, etc. compare with what you currently know about teachers/teaching?

The song compares with what I currently know about teachers and teaching in many ways. Teachers do everything that I listed above. They are constantly supporting and engaging with their students to help them achieve their dreams and goals. Teachers teach because they want to help and develop a connection with their students to help them succeed in every way possible. This song delivers the message that teachers strive for on a daily basis. That being if you care about something so much, try and reach for the stars. To keep pushing and striving for better things in life. To always be the best version of yourself.

“Try Everything” is able to expand upon the development of my teacher identity. This song is what drives me to become a better individual and future teacher. The lyrics are something that I am able to connect with and that I hope to expand upon when I am older. I want to be able to provide and inspire the young minds that I will soon be teaching. I want each and every one of my students to succeed and to always work towards what they truly believe in. I want to support them when they fall and congratulate them when they have their breakthrough moment. I want to show that any little step in the right direction is progress. I believe that “Try Everything” is about overcoming the obstacles that come with life and I want to inspire my students as much as this song inspires me. I want my future students to hear this song and connect with the idea that you can do it if you put your mind to it.

This song also connects with the FSEHD Dispositions and most of the course readings in many ways. This song relates to the idea of if you are struggling then to ask for help and to get back up again and try harder. To accept help from others and to use tools to help you succeed. The lyrics mention the idea of sharing, to grow as an individual, and to embrace yourself as a human. These aspects tie into the FSEHD Dispositions beautifully. Many of these examples are things that are mentioned in the FSEHD Dispositions. “Try Everything” also ties into most of the course readings that we have read so far. The song and the readings mention real life feelings and stories where one has to make a change for the better. To not keep living day to day without fixing the problems at hand. To try and make the world a better place. Both the FSEHD Dispositions and readings connect and relate to “Try Everything” greatly.

Zootopia - Try Everything (Lyrics, Shakira)

1)    This clip represents “that teacher”, that one teacher that no one understands why they are a teacher. The teacher you hear everyone talk about in the hallways in school or that one teacher who you may not want for a certain class. This teacher hates their profession, and it shows in their teaching, behavior, and actions. It reinforces how often people believe how miserable teachers are and why one should not go into a teaching career. I find this portrayal one-sided because most teachers do not strive to be like this teacher, however, there are a handful who are unfortunately like this.

2)    This compares to my knowledge of teachers/teaching as most teachers are not like this one. This teacher is lazy, rude, insensitive, all qualities in a bad teacher. I never experienced this type of teacher, and would rarely hear about one. However, these types of teachers do exist. Teaching should not be a fall back/back-up plan for any college student, teaching is not some hobby, it is a profession that takes time and dedication to become good at. There are other options besides becoming a teacher, and it is devastating to the teaching profession when these types of teachers are portrayed, and students experience these types of teachers.

3)    This is the one I am steering clear of becoming and will regularly assess I am not becoming. As a student I would absolutely hate this type of teacher. As a teacher I would want my class to be one that students look forward to, even if they despise math, not one that is dreaded throughout the day. This type of teacher fails each aspect of the FSEHD Disposition assessment and should not even qualify to be a teacher.
