INTRO:
Welcome and thank you for tuning in to The Shining Scholar Education Podcast where we talk about secondary English & Language Arts tips, strategies, and resources. We’ll also share the ups and downs in the wonderful world of teaching. I’m your host, Charlie, and I’m a teacher-creator here with Shining Scholar Education. We hope you enjoy the show!

(Summary)

  • Maybe a teacher is 


    • A weather
    • A fighter
    • A model for failure 
    • A magician
    • A gardener
    • A model for kindness 
    • A model for not holding grudge from one day to the other
    • A model for saying I’m sorry even though it means an adult apologizing to a

      kid

    • A person who the students can count on at least for that class period

    • A person who treats the student as an individual no matter what the other

      teachers and staff
      have said about him or her

    • The only positive adult that student sees that day

    • The only one that believes in that student
    • The catalyst that sparks a lifelong learner

    • Quotes for today:

      “Education is not the filling of a pot but the lighting of a fire.” –W.B. Yeats

      “A teacher affects eternity; he [or she] can never tell where his influence stops.” —Henry B. Adams
