I was recently reading the May - June 2025 issue of "Science Scope", a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.

In this issue, I read the section, "From the Editor's Desk" written by Patti McGinnis. She wrote an article entitled, "'The Power of a Passionate Teacher."

Passionate teachers inspire their students to learn, they create collaborative learning environments where risk-taking is encouraged, and they help students connect their learning to real-world applications. Passionate teachers are committed to their discipline, are knowledgeable to world events, and are committed to ensuring their students learn.
