Food For Thought

I came across this video while searching for new and exciting teaching strategies on YouTube. I can't say that I agree with the "what good teachers don't need" portion. I think that an outgoing personality, a master's degree, and teaching experience certainly add to a well-rounded educator, specifically when communicating with parents,  writing curriculum, or handling difficult teaching situations. But I do agree that making sure all students keep up, changing lesson plans as needed, and setting high goals are tremendously important for student achievement. In any case, it's good to see that teachers are being recognized for their outstanding work!
