Challenge 27- What makes a great teacher and why? - LGee

# data[].attributes.body
I think what makes a great teacher is when they humanize themselves to their students. Teachers can create connection that fosters productivity in their students if they communicate that they’re regular people just as much as their students. That they’ve messed up. That they may have gotten in trouble in school. That they have good days and bad days. When students sense a teacher isn’t trying to be high and mighty, they feel more open to share and a sense of wanting to be better students for that teacher they’ve created connection with.

When thinking about someone who brightens my day every day would have to be Ashia O’Neal.  She is always the person who is positive and upbeat no matter the circumstance.  She has so much on her plate but she still has time to make sure that her team is supported.  Every day when she sees me, her positivity and encouragement is always is motivational.  She is a fantastic, wonderful, and inspiring person.

Mr. Overcash,

This is Lashawn Gee (Coach Gee), Austin’s PE/Health teacher. I hope you are well and in good spirits. I wanted to take the time to thank you for the patience and grace you have shown to Austin. I’m sure it was a big transition for him from 5th to 6th grade.

I want to commend you because whenever I called or texted, you were right there to help with him and get him reeled back in. I also want to thank you for taking the time to come to school if there was a need to have you there to assist us. Your time spent doesn’t go unnoticed.

Just wanted to take a little time to show some gratitude for a parent at our school who is so involved with their child. I would be thrilled to have more of you!!

Have a great day!!

Lashawn Gee

This is my family (tonight) rockin' our State gear and celebrating the end of Zack's Freshman year at NCSU with some Howling Cow ice cream -made at NCSU & purchased at Harris Teeter… (You may be able to see us holding our favorite flavors if you Zoom in! ) WE chose to take this picture around our Fire Pit which has been temporarily relocated to our side yard to accommodate social distancing. We love to gather with family and friends around the fire; especially when making s'mores and/or consuming adult beverages! This is where we have some of our most meaningful and momentous conversations, as well as our most humorous and memorable ones! We also tend to play cornhole in this location as well; but Mr. Hannah didn't want to drag our NC State boards out for the pic!  LOL...  But he does deserve the credit for the title of this pic! Go Pack (and DUKE and Ohio State)!

I really enjoy my room - and I have a comfy couch in my room that I use as my (non ergonomic) work station. I like it because it's facing a window I keep open to feel the fresh breeze and hear the birdies singing.
This is a picture I took while sitting on said couch, which I couldn't get up from for hours, for obvious reasons.

Today I was challenged to pick a student that inspires me to get up for work every morning.  I chose you Patrick Eugene Thomas (AKA Sweet Pea.  Most days you greet me before I can get out the car, and maybe ask for a little cologne.  Over the three year you have been at Ferndale you have grown so much.  You can be the best student at times and sometimes you have to come to me to get a little help calming down.  I know life can throw some tough things at you but make good decisions.  I expect to hear great things from you in the coming years.

My favorite place in my house is my desk in my office. It's my favorite place because it's where I create music, study and get to connect with my students and colleagues, and my family. The time spent at my desk erases all the negativity that is going on in the world. It is my quiet, happy place. A place where I smile when a student tells me they appreciate me, and that I make them feel safe. This is my safe place.

Challenge #11 (Anderson)

Dear Marcus Legrande,

Just wanted to reach out to you to see how you’re doing! I also wanted to let you know what an inspiration you are to me! You are the reason my days are filled with laughter, smiles, and sometimes craziness! :-) I’ve enjoyed working with you and seeing your mind and talents come to life! The more I encouraged you, the more confident you became. As a teacher assistant, my job was to help teach you and keep you on track, but there were days where you did the same for me. Even though we had our days where we were frustrated or lost our patience with each other, we still ended our days smiling, giving high fives, and having our Cherry Pepsi and Takis snack break.

You have so much to offer this world! You are creative! You are brilliant! I know sometimes you feel like no one has your back, you need to know that our FMS community that surrounds you most certainly does! I will never stop tirelessly pushing you to be successful at everything you do.

Even though our year was cut short together, I’m so grateful for having the chance to get to know you this year. You will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for making me smile and saying just the perfect thing to bring my spirits up on a bad day. It is difficult to know what the future holds these days, but always remember that.....YOU ARE LOVED!!!!

Love,

Mrs. Anderson

In this challenge, I was asked to post a favorite picture of myself. And without a second thought, my favorite picture (or anything about me at any phase of my life) is certainly the "extended" version of myself...the better version of myself. These two jokers are every bit of my personality with an added flare. They are goofy, honest, dedicated, humble, kind and above all awesome kids. So asking for a picture of me means I'd gladly share the better versions of myself... my babies! Gabe and Farrah at the beach house being themselves. Don't you just love this pic of me?!!! 😇 Holleman

A long time ago, I had a job interview in a different county where I was asked this question. I said a great teacher is someone who cares and who is always learning.  Students need to feel safe and cared for before they can take on the challenge of learning something new, and teachers need to be lifelong learners, not just for expertise in their field, but so they can remember what it feels like to go through the frustration of learning new things, so they can be patient and empathetic with their students' struggles.  When I asked the admin what he thought made a great teacher, he responded that it was someone who knows the standards and uses data to inform teaching - no mention of students.  I didn't get that job!

I admire Mrs. Felicia Higgs, our school speech pathologist. Everytime I encounter Mrs. Higgs, she has something relevant and positive to say. Her aura is divine meaning what she has to deposit as an educator is fitting for that specific time. Mrs. Higgs recognizes strengths, builds capacity, and when you leave her, you are empowered! I admire Mrs. Felecia Higgs!

Forever present

Brouhaha sound effects

Cause we rep

That blue and gold

That blue and gold

Through and through

So please step aside because

Trojans are

Coming through

Nay Sayers

Take notes as we work

As we immerse

Ourselves in excellence

Leaving behind futuristic

Valedictorian footprints

Now and forever

Clothed in greatness

And no, we’re not

Seeking your validation

To do so
Brouhaha Brouhaha

We rep that blue and gold

That blue and gold

Check tha academic success afterglow

Nothing we do is so...so

We move with purpose & precision

Calculated bridging

Students with

Academic Advisors

Coaches & Mentors

Peep the rapport

Forever present

Brouhaha sound effects

Because we rep

That blue and gold

That blue & gold

Through and through

So please step aside

Because Trojans are coming through

Merci Beaucoup
